Delegates From Sou.
Association Visit
Campus For Survey
Three men. Dr. M. C. Huntley,
President R. L. Brantley, and Pres
ident H. I. Ingram, representatives
from the Southern Association of
Colleges and Secondjary Schools,
visited the campus on Wednesday
and Thursday of this week. The
purpose of the visit was to make a
thorough survey of the college to
see if it measures up to the stand
ards required for admission to the
association.
Some time ago, Brevard made
application to the executive secre
tary of the association and this
was forwarded to the commitee on
junior colleges. It was presented at
the regular meeting of the asso
ciation last December, at which
time it was decided that a survey
would be made in 1948. If this
survey proved favorable, the ap
plication would be acted on at the
next meeting in December of 1949,
when the findings of the survey
will be presented.
The Southern Association is the
highest regional accrediting agen
cy. Brevard is already accredited
by the North Carolina Department
of Education and by the Univer
sity of North Carolina, but mem
bership in the association would
carry much more weight when
Students tran'sfer. Dean Steven
son pointed out, however, that in
Brevard’s 14 years of operation,
students from here have success
fully transferred to more than 70
out-of-state colleges. The records
which these transfer students make
while in other colleges are very
much in fiavor of the school here,
as they stood up well under inves
tigation by the association. As a
matteit-of-fact, the dean stated, the
reports coming back from the as
sociation were complimentary in
practically every instance.
The report form for junior col
leges has 16 standards which must
be met and for which information
must be supplied. This includes a
statement as to the purpose of the
school, its organization, and, en
trance and graduation require
ments. The faculty members who
teach academic subjects must have
a master’s degree or one year of
graduate work. On this point, the
dean ^feels there will be no danger
of rejection. The report calls for a
teaching load of not more than 18
hours, and a class limitation of ap
proximately 30 students.
Information is also required on
sources of income, loan funds,
scholarship, and instructional ex
penditures per student. An annual
amount of $10,000 from sources
other than students’ fees must be
coming into the college. This re
quirement, the Dean reports, is
amply met. Another fact definite
ly m our fiavor is that a conser
vative estimate shows the college
