On her return from the seventeenth
annual convention of the Southern
Business Education Association held
at Jacksonville, November 3, to De
cember 2, Miss Inglis reports a most
interesting and instructive meeting.
The theme of the convention was “Im
provement of Business Education
the South.”
At the opening session on Thursday,
which was a fellowship dinner, J
Dewberry Copeland of the Univer
sity of Florida, reviewed the growth
of business education in the South,
pointing out that we have reached the
stage where we are now training
about all the business teachers we
need, making it no longer necessary
for prospective teachers to go to
northern schools for graduate or
undergraduate work.
Due to illness Dr. F. G. Nichols,
lead of the Department of Business
Education of the Graduate School of
Education of Harvard University,
was unable to be present. Dr. Hmn-
den L. Forkner, head of the De
partment of Business Education of
Teachers College, Columbia Univer
sity took his place and very ably dis
cussed “Improvement of Secondary
Business Education in the South.” The
next morning Dr. Forkner made one
the four principle addresses of
convention, taking as his topic
“Youth Problems in Business Edu
cation.”
Other speakers at the convention
; Dr. Paul L. Lomax, head of
Department of Business Educa-
of New York University, and
A. Carlson, of Northwestern
University, Chicago. Dr. Lomax spoke
were
the
tion
Carl
on Nev/ Emphasis in Business Edu-
cation” at the general session on Fri
day morning and at the afternoon
meeting spoke to a gronp of college
and university professors on In-
Service Business Teacher Education
Problems.” Dr. Carlson, at the Fri
day morning session, used as his toplb
“Streamlining Business Education” in
which he discussed the factors making
an impact on the business education
of today.
At the banquet Friday evening, an
other outstanding speaker,' Dr. Wil
liam S. Taylor, Dean of the College
of Education, University of Kentucky,
talked on the “European Scene from
a Year of Close Observation.”
The local entertainment committee
provided sight-seeing trips to St. Au
gustine, Jacksonville Beach, and other
points of interest, including a tour
of the Du Pont estate on the St.
John’s River.
At an early morning breakfast on
Saturday, Miss Inglis met members of
the Delta Epsilon chapter of the
Alpha Iota honorary business soror
ity, who sent greetings to the Delta
Psl chapter at Queens College.
The convention will be held at
Nashville, Tenn., next year and Miss
Inglis is already talking about going
there.

Board Meets
At Queens
Name New Queens
New Asst. Dean
Pfohl Heads Music
Trustees of Queens College in their
fall meeting changed the name of the
institution to Queens College, elected
James Christian Pfohl of Davidson
College director of music for 1940-41,
and elected an assistant dean of wom
en to begin her duties the first of Feb
ruary.
Professor Pfohl will continue to
give the major part of his time to
Davidson College but will direct a
co-operative program between music
departments of the two colleges in
an effort to bring about expansion of
the music department at Queens. De
tails of the arrangement whereby he
will serve both institution.^ will be
worked out by executives of the col
lege.
Action Recommended
The changing of the college’s name
followed recent action of the South
Carolina synod at its meeting in
Charleston, when it recommended that
the college be given the name of
Queens. Trustees voted unanimously
to make the change and instructed the
executive committee to complete legal
details necessary. The standing of
alumnae of the former Chicora College
and Queens-Chicora College will not
be changed as they will remain on
the same status as alumnae of Queens
College.
The meeting Avas presided over by
McAlister Carson, chairman of the
board. A full report on the college
was presented by Dr. Hunter Bryson
Blakely, president. Others who made
reports were Miss Clara Barnett Sla
ton, dean of women, James M. God
ard, dean of instruction, Howard Mac
Gregor, treasurer and bursar, and Dr.
S. C. Byrd, registrar.
Miss Black Will Come
Trustees elected Miss Shirley Mar
vell Black of Spartanburg, S. C., a
graduate of the class of 1939 of
Mary Baldwin College, to serve as
assistant dearf of women. She has
been studying college administration
at Columbia University for the last
few months and will remain there
until the end of the present seme.ster.
She was outstanding among the stu
dents in her four years at Mary
Baldwin and held a number of high
offices in the student body.
In discussing the change in the col-
ege's name, officials pointed out that
the motion for this action was made
and seconded by trustees from South
Carolina. Chicora College of Colum
bia was merged with Queens in 1930.
An item of the basis for consolida
tion read: “That, for the time being,
the name of Queens-Chicora College
shall be adoj)ted and the new board
of trustees, as provided for in this
agreement, shall be vested with au
thority, if in their discretion they
deem it advisable, to change the name
of the institution, taking into con
sideration the good will and heritage
of the affiliated colleges.”
It was also decided by trustees that
Dr. Blakely, who began his duties as
president in the summer, shall be
inaugurated at the next commence
ment exercises.
