sociates and you are doing with our college newspaper.
I am sure that you are fully aware of the favorable

THE CHOWANIAN.
DR. BRUCE E. WHITAKER
Chowan College President
Just saw the January issue of THE CHOWANIAN and
was greatly pleased with the manner in which religious
news was covered, and displayed. The layout of the
Focus Week was most impressive, particularly in the
light of the copy available.
You and the staff of THE CHOWANIAN have been ex
tremely helpful to this department in promoting the
Gospel in written form. The attractive planning and print
ing of Religious News has been of vital help in bringing
about a better understanding of Christian Faith on this
campus and throughout the state.
Your efforts deserve commendation, and are greatly
appreciated.
