Wilmington College Opens Doors
By J. G. B.
News Editor
Fossibly, the sophomores at the
Charlotte Center will remember the
College Center at Wilmington last
year.
Well, there is no longer a Wilm
ington College Center. On Septem
ber 4. the Wilmington College
opened its doors for the first time.
The Wilmington College has both
■freshman and sophomore years and
can offer an extensive curricula
which satisfies most of the students.
For students who plan to do their
first two years at the Wilmington
College and then go to a college or
university of their choice, courses
have been set up for liberal arts,
'lor commerce, foi engineering, for
home economics, for pre-medical or
pre-dental, for law, and for science.
Principles of accreditation are be
ing met so that the first graduating
class will have an “Associate in
Arts” diploma from an accredited
institution.
High standards have been set in
the selection of instructors. Both
part-time and full-time instructors
have been secured, and in almost
every case, the Instructors have
master’s degrees in their subject
fields.
Terminal courses have been set
up in which the student may re
ceive well-rounded instruction hy
attending college for two years only.
These terminal courses will in
clude such things as business ad
ministration, accounting, home eco
nomics, secretarial science, and
merchandising.
At this time one hundred and
thirty-three students have been ac
cepted at the college, and this num
ber does not include those who
have made application in the tech
nical courses.
Dale K. Spencer, dean of the
Wilmington College, wrote in a re
cent letter to your Editorial De
partment that 160 students had
registered for the academic year
and that of this number, fifty-five
students were with the College
Center last year, thereby forming
the sophomore class of the Wilm
ington College. The remainder of
the students were freshman and, of
course, entered their freshman cur
ricula.
An interesting note concerning
the enrollment of the college was
that of the number registered, nine
ty-six were veterans and sixty-four
were non-veterans.'The fact that so
many of the registrants were non-
veterans was very encourageing to
the newly formed college.
