Faculty h
Represented
At Meeting
Early November proved a busy |
iir.e for Dr. J. E. Danieley, Elon's
president, and for a number of
members of the faculty who were
representing the college at sev-,
eral meetings at widely scattered
points. !
President Danieley began his
busiest week of the month by at-;
tending Congregational Christian,
church meets at Henderson and'
Afheboro on November 5th and j
6th, but he delegated Mrs. Mar-i
jorie Hereford to attend a third
church meet at Vernon Hiil. Va..l
on November 7th. |
He himself, accompanied by Dr ]
Robert IJensnn, was at Winston-’
Salem on November 7th, for thcj
meeting of the North Carolina
Council of Church-Related Col
leges at Salem College, with Dr.
Danieley elected at that meeting
as second vice president of the
group.
Dr. Danieley and Dr. Benson
remained that day for opening
sessions of the North Carolina Col
lege Conference, but they returned
to Greensboro that night where
Dr. Danieley spoke at an Elon
alumni meet.
Also representing Elon at Win-i
ston-Salem gatherings at the same|
time were Miss Hazel Walker, reg
istrar, Prof. A. L. Hook and Dr. ^
Paul Cheek, of the committee on
admissions, who were delegates to
gatherings of registrars and ad
missions officers.
That same week saw Dr. H. H.
Cuimingham, Elon’s dean of stu
dents, attending the annual meet
ing of the southern Historical As
sociation in Houston, Texas. There
he presided over the session deal
ing with Southern medical hi=-
tory, the choice being a tribute to
his own intensive study in that
field. He is to have a book on
Confederate medical history pub
lished in the spring of 1938.
Elon Ends Grid Year Undefealed:
Will Not Re-Set Caneelled (Contests
Outstanding
Elon Leaders
Are Honored
The Elon College footbill
squad, undefeated and untied
for the year, closed its 1957 cam
paign with last Saturday's de
cisive 20 to 7 victory over Le
noir Rhyne. This fact was as
sured when Elon’s faculty ath
letic committee voted on Mon
day not to re-schedule two games
which were cancelled by Ca
tawba and Western Carolina due
to influenza outbreaks at those
colleges.
In making the decision not to
re-schedule the cancelled games,
the Elon athletic officials took
into consideration the tact that
the Christians, due to the can-
cellati'jns, lacked one of play
ing the five North State Confer
ence games that are required by
existing lnoi> rules to qualify ?3r
the Conference title.
The athletic committee also
considered the fact the final Fall
Quarter examinations were to be
gin at Elon on Thursday of this
week and will continue until
Thank-sgiving, followed by holi
days for the entire student body
and the beginning of a new Win
ter Quarter on December 2nd.
To have re-scheduled either or
brath of the cancelled games
would have conflicted with the
scholastic program which thus
looms for the Elon students.
*The formal statement issued
Monday night by the athletic
committee through the office of
President J. Earl Danieley fol
lows :
■‘The faculty Athletic Com
mittee of Elon College, to avoid
conflict wi'h final examinations
and with the impending close of
the Fall Quarter at the college.
voted today to abide by the ori- |
ginal football schedule. This de
cision terminates olay for the
Elon College football squad with ,
the final game of the regular I
season at Lenoir Rhyne last Sat- :
urday. The final examinations
for the fall term get underway
Thursday, November 21, and the
Winter term will begin on De
cember 2, immediately after the
Thanksgiving holiday period."
In taking this action, the Elon
faculty committee left the final
award of the 1957 Norih State
C’onfererc? football title er.tiiely
up to the Conference in.sclf. The
football championship is always
awarded officially by the Con
ference delegates at the annual
meeting in December. This
year’s meeting is set tor High
Po nt on Tuesday. December 3.
