A&T College
Becomes N.C. A&T State
University
Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy, presi
dent of A&T College, was
pleased last Thursday to learn
that his Institution had been
accepted as one of the four
state institutions in the General
Assembly's regional universi
ties' bill.
The amendment to the Henly
Bill which would include A&T
College had been defeated on
the floor of the Senate. The
House of Representatives passed
the bill by a vote of 81-29. Then
the Senate concurred in a
House amendment to give A&T
College regional university sta
tus.
Dr. Dowdy said: "I am ex
tremely delighted that the N. C.
General Assembly saw fit to
give due recognition to A&T |
College by including it along
with the other three five-year
colleges in the regional univer
sities' bill.
"We strongly believe that A
& T College is deserving of this
recognition.
"While we are grateful to all
our supporters in the state and
in the General Assembly, we
extend special thanks for the
leadership and superb support
provided by the Guilford and
Randolph delegations.
"Furthermore, we shall at
tempt to strengthen our existing
academic programs rather than
seeking to establish new ones.
However, an attempt will be
made to continue to improve the
academic status and resear^
and service functions of the in
stitutions."
"Very pleased" to hear of the
General Assembly's action was
Robert H. Frazier, chairman of
the A&T College Trustee Board.
He said he was glad to learn
that the Legislature had seen fit
to give A&T the status it de
served, with other institutions of
similar levels.
