Inspection Group
To Consider
AC Accreditation
By (’IIARI.HS SIIIRLKY
An inspection committee re-i
presenting the Southern Associa-
lion of Colleges and Secondary I
Schools will arrive in Wilson Sun<'
day, Oct. 2, to consider the pt>s-!
sH>Uity of the accreditation of'
Atlantic Christian College by th-
association. Serving as chariman of
the conimittee will be Dr. Otto R
Nielsen. Dean of the School of
Education, Texas Christian Uni
versity. Other committee mem
bers are President Henry Stanford
of Georgia State College for Women
and Dean Elford Morgan of Con
verse College, Spartanburg. South
Carolina.
Tlie decision to inspict Atlantic
Christian was made at the last
annual meeting of the as>oi;iation
and was based upon thfir exami ,
nation of comprehensive reports
which the college ha.^- submitt(*d for
the past three years. Throughout
their two and a half day visit in
Wilson, the committee will be on
campus inspecting college reccwd.'^,
talking to the faculty and various
mem^TS of the student body, and
inspecting college facilities.
Dr. James Moudy, Academic
Dean of Atlantic Christian, earlier
stati^; “A great deal hinges on the
impression u-v make uptm tht com
mittee. I am urging aU students to
be particularly mindful of the im
pressions they give, the attitudes
they manifest, and the assistance
they bestow in response to the com
mittee's requests. We ask only that
the students conduct themselves In
their usual wholesome manner,
for we feel that in every way the
student body of this college is
worthy of the respect and the
recognition of the association.'*
•nir specific point of the com
mittee’s visit will be their judge
ment on what Atlantic Christian
yet needs to do to qualify for this
higher accreditation. If they feel
that the college now qualifies such
a rep»>rt will be carried to the next
annual meeting of the aasociation
at Miami in late November.

bock. Texas, to assume Die duti(‘M
as president of Atlantic Christian
college. Ujxm his arrival, he im-
I medlat<*ly saw the possibilities of
i developing a beautiful campus and
;i great college in this city.
The ground work was stirted for
expanding the college and beauti
fying the campus. A lot of long
I hours were spent deciding which
: plan would suit the presetn situ- ^
aUon best. Tlie needed space for |
developing the campus was very j
, limited, and the arrangement of
the additional buildings needed to
meet the needs of the colU*ge prc-
i s<*nt<*d a big problem. The arrange
ment decided u|Km that would lx‘st
fit the presmt camixis ai»d th**
space that is available for exi>an-,
sion was the quadrangle arrange
ment.
All the new buildings in the >
future, as well as the l^jildings now
; under construction, arc designed
I to face into the center of tho cam
pus. giving the campus the ap
pearance of a court. TTiis court
; will serve as an amphitheaU*r for
i;raduation and other affairs of the
college. I
