Development At Chowan The Chowan College student body is now reaping the bene fits of a fund-raising drive be gun in September of 1957 for the sole purpose of securing the needed finances for the con struction of vital buildings on the college campus. Directing this long-range ob jective campaign was Mr. W. A. McClennan, a representa tive of Ward, Dreshman, and Reinhardt, of New York. Dur ing the drive more than 1250 donors, including a number of churches in the Chowan, West Chowan, North Roanoke, South Roanoke, Neuse, and Atlantic Associations contributed a n amount of money in excess of $500,000. Three modern buildings now stand as memorials to the splen did efforts rendered in the fund raising campaign. The new Girls’ Dormitory, Cafeteria, and the new Men’s Dormitory re present a great investment in the advancement of Christian education at Chowan College. The college’s Development committee anticipates a goal of $115,000 by February 1, 1961. With the attainment of this new mark, much of the back in debtedness of the college will be cleared, according to com mittee chairman Oscar Creech. In the future lies the long- needed Administration and Classroom building, the estimat ed cost of which is approximate ly $600,000.
