The School of Graphic Com munications received special recognition last month when it was one of the five institutions in the United States to be chosen for a visit by a Printing Technology pro fessor from England to learn more of instructional techniques in this country. According to Herman W. Gatewood, director of the School of Graphic Communications, Pro fessor John Wilson was the reci pient of a fellowship grant to in spect five colleges and universities in the United States offering pro grams in Printing Technology. Among the institutions selected, in addition to Chowan, were Rochester Institute of Technology, Camegie-Melon University, Clem- son University and West Virginia Institute of Technology. From Watford College Wilson, who serves as a Printing Technology professor at Watford College, Hertfordshire, England, said he was pleased to be at Chowan and tour the “outstanding ^ graphic communications facility”. Wilson spent a number of hours in conference with Gatewood and other faculty members to leam of the instructional program and teaching methods. Following Wilson’s five-week tour he will prepare a report for submission to other colleges in the United Kingdom in an effort to im prove the current programs and provide instruction in the latest technologies. Watford College is located ap proximately 20 miles from London, and serves more than 500 young men and women preparing for careers in the printing industry. Wilson, whose area of expertise is in prepartory offset, is one of 54 full-time faculty members at Wat ford. “Same Problems” Gatewood related that Wilson’s visit was helpful to Chowan’s facul ty. “I was somewhat pleased to learn that Professor Wilson and his faculty face the same problems and concerns as we do, and we ex changed ideas and suggestions which should prove beneficial to our institutions.” One of the mutual problems discussed by the two professors was the critical need for more per sonnel in the printing industry. Both Gatewood and Wilson related that their schools receive far more requests from prospective employers than they have graduates. Gatewood pointed out that he receives more than three times as many requests as there are graduates in Chowan’s prin ting program. In touring the faciUties at Chowan, Wilson remarked that he was “extremely impressed with the large amount of equipment us ed for teaching purposes”. He also said he was “envious of the high quality of equipment”, making particular reference to the school’s new two-color Heidelberg press and HCM color scanner. Wilson said his college, like Chowan, depends largely upon contributions of equipment from manufacturers and other segments of the in dustry. Printing Production The printing departments at Watford College produce a very limited quantity of printed materials required by the institu tion. Wilson related that he was “amazed” that the School of Graphic Communications is able to produce almost all of the materials used by Chowan College in the stu dent recruitment program and general operation. He said “those of us at Watford College would never attempt to produce our own yearbook such as Chowan does' Commencement Continued from Page 3 and spoke the world into being can be trusted to guide your future.” He said, “Integrity is the bottom line. If you do not have it, all your education and training will go for nought ... the most magnificent cathederals are not outside you but inside you.” Dr. Whitaker presented the diplomas, assisted by Dean B. Franklin Lowe Jr. and registrar Darrell Nicholson. Dr. Joyce Elliott, professor in the Depart ment of Languages and Literature, gave the invocation for the gradua tion service. Music for both events was provided by the Commence ment Ensemble, directed by Pro fessor Robert Brown, and the Com mencement Chorale, directed by Dr. James Chamblee.
