Williams Becomes President-Emeritus OfECSU ELIZ ABETH CITY-By ac tion of the Board of Trustees of Elizabeth City State Univer sity, the title of President-Em eritus was bestowed upon Dr. Sidney David Williams. The first to receive such title was ECSU’s first President, Dr. Peter W. Moore (1891-’1928), thus making Dr. Williams the second to be so honored in the 78-year history of the insitu tion. Dr. Williams, a native of Macon, Georgia, and now liv ing in Jamica, Long Island, New York, became President of what was then Elizabeth City State Teachers College in 1946.

Some candidates say the pri mary is illegal just as was the “white primary.” Some, how ever, say they will abide by it. Others say they will take the matter up with election authorities for a ruling on its legality. Paradoxically, a Negro cand idate for councilman-at-large, Ernest N.

McCkmney LAWRENCEVII LE, Va.-The second most comprehensive and detailed program for enlarg ing the facilities in increasing the enrollment of Saint Paul’s College here was submitted to the Board of Trustees by Presi dent Earl H. McClenney during the board’s two-day fall ses sion ending Fridav, September 26. In monetary terms, Dr. Mc- Clenney reported to ti e h us tees, execution of the plans would require between $3 and $5 million. He confined his recommendations to seven “imperative needs” at the eight’.-one vear-old_pr i v at e, Episcopal-related four-year college. President McClenney stres sed that construction of the projected residents! and academic facilities included a mong the “imperative needs,” would make possible a highly desirable enrollment of one thousand. In a 1964 “compre hensive Master Plan” so: de velopment, undertaken in 1962, an enrollment increase to 700 was set as a goal. Subsequently that has been increased to 800 but, as Dr. McClenney now re commends, the minimum en rollment goal should be one thousand. In addition to the revised enrollment objective, Dr. Mc- Clenney cited in his report to the trustees the following “imperative needs”: increas ing library resources from the present 42,000-plus volumes to 100,000 (along with physical ex pansion of the library), two ad ditional dormorties, a new and modern classroom building, completion of the Health, Physi cal Education, and Recreation Building (opened in December 1966) pursuant to orginial plans which included a swimming pool, a new heating plant and system, and funds for delayed maintenance ar.d repairs. As a frame of reference in making the recommendations to the trustees board, Lir. Me- Clennev reviewed and charac terized the history and pro grams of the college from its founding in 1888 to tire present. In this resume, the president recalled that at the outset “the school was established to pro vide education for a group of people who, if it were not for the school, would stumble through dark tunnels of illi teracy and its consequences” simply because there was not then available any»‘‘formal ed ucation at all at any level for the masses less than two de cades removed from over two centuries of dehumanizing bondage.” Afterwards, he pointed out, Saint Paul’s assumed until 19- 60 the major responsibility of providing education of any j: eaningful nature for the Ne groes of Brunswick County and beyond in the elementary, sec ondary, vocational and normal school levels.” Meanwhile, Dr. McClenney pointed out, over the years Saint Paul’s evid enced an “awareness of new educational emphases and needs” that was reflected in curricula modifications and al terations in the institutional name--first, Saint Paul's Nor mal and Industrial School, then Saint Paul's Polytechnic In stitute, and finally (in 1957) to Saint Paul’s College, A char ter change In 1941 authorized the Institution to grand degrees. In the early 'Fifties all of ferings below the college level were phased out. “There are many evidences of the transitions, past and cur rent, at Saint Paul’s,” Dr. Mc- Clenney stated. “There was nothing, however, meaningless nor idle in such changes, either in name or offerings. Instead . . .efforts were undertaken to enlarge the college’-s useful ness, raise its standards, re vise or broaden its offerings, and, finally, more accurately ’ to indicate its purpose and academic scope as a fullfledg ed four-year college, unquali fiedly accredited, and offering a varity of course. . .That has been the main thrust of efforts since 1950.” Gets QB Test GRAMBLING, La. - The Buf falo Bills of the American Foot ball League is giving ex- Grambling star James Harris a thorough trial at the quarter back position.
