Assembly Leaders Show
Need For More Support
’ I A <-a M ^ ^ 1 —. £ ^ ^ ^ ^ TTT1- • J O - - _ . _
The American people face a ser
ious breakdown of the democratic
system unless they can find some
way to bolster "their program of
higher education as it is faced
with an exploding population grow
th and rising costs.
This was the cumulative key
note sounded by leaders in the
field of education who participated
in the program of the second an
nual Progress Assembly at Atlan
tic Christian college during the
weekend.
A sound system of higher educa-
- tion that can meet the demands
being placed upon it, is the secret
to the democratic way of life. This
is what Dr. Travis A. White, presi
dent of Midwestern University, told
those attending the progress as
sembly at a concluding banquet
Saturday night.
Earlier, at a panel discussion.
Dr. John W. Shirley. Dean of
North Carolina State college, had
warned that America needs as
many trained minds as it can mus
ter in the next decade if it is to
defend its traiditional democratic
system from the forces of commun
ism that are pressing down upon
it.
At the same panel discussion.
Dr. Gordon W. Sweet, executive
secretary of the Commission on
Colleges and Universities of the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools warned that
the American people must give
more financial support to higher
education in the next 10 years if
it is to do the job that they are
demanding.
Dr. White, a former Atlantic
Christian college president, seem
ed to sum up the feeling of the
educators when he said at the
banquet: “Trained brains and com
mitted lives of moral integrity are
the keys to America’s freedom
and greatness and the hope of our
world for sanity and security.”
“We’ve had much to say , about
the hand that rocks the cradle,
about the great achievements of
science, the influence of diplomats,
each of which has its place, but
my conviction is that those who
control, direct and undergird high
er education in America will con
trol her future,” he said.
Earlier Dr, Shirley said; “The
coming decade is a most critical
one, both for American education
and for our democratic society as
well, "nie national and worldwide
explosion of population is posing
almost insuperable problems. At
the same time, an explosion in the
basic knowledge, in the facts of
nature, and in the technology
which manipulates these basic
facts have added to our problem.
To keep pace^ with this new sub
ject matter and to teach it to ever
increasing numbers of students will
call on every bit of our whole na
tion s creative and imaginative
thinking,”
Dr. Shirley went further to say:
“At the same time, this is the
decade in which our democratic
way of life has been called into
question by the commuunists. The
war which is cold on the rocket
and atomic bomb front is anything
but cold on the economic and
philosophical front.”
Dr. Sweet said at the panel that
the people must be willing to sup
port a program on higher educa
tion by 1969-70 that wiU cost $9
'billion.
“The eas3T way will be to re
main in exisiting buildings with
existing facilities and to accept the
crowding and the pressure which
pr^uces mediocrity,” Dr. Sweet
said. “It does not seem impossible
that more than the present one
cent out of one dollar on the gross
national product can be spent on
education,” he said.
Dr. Arthur D. Wenger, ACC
president, brought the problem
closer home when he made a spe
cial report at the Progress As
sembly banquet Saturday night. He
said Atlantic Christian college, at
the present time, needs minimum
capital improvements totaling $2,
700,000 and must have them before
it can even get ready for the
growth that will be demanded
during the decade of the sixties.
New facilities listed as import
ant needs at the present time by
the ACC president, are a women’s
dormitory, a music and art class
room building, a physical educa
tion plant, and an auditorium. He
also said the institution needs to
enlarge its present library, con
structed in 1951, its science build
ing, construced in 1955, and its pre
sent heating plant.
In addition to the building needs,
Dr. Wenger said $1,000,000 of the
total amount of $2,700,000 should
be channeled into the college’s
fund.
