REW Activities
Religious Emphasis Week at Bre
vard College has always been a
significant part of life on the cam
pus. This year’s observance, how
ever, is unique in that it marks the
first time this observance is sup
ported by a memorial fund estab
lished for this specific purpose.
The late Dr. A. W. Plyler was a
Methodist minister in the Western
North Carolina Conference. He
strved as a charter member of the
Board of Trustees of the college,
showing great interest in the col
lege’s work and promises for
growth in size and usefulness. Dr.
Plyler and his twin brother, Dr. M.
T. Plyler, became co-editors of the
North Carolina Christian Advocate,
and served in that capacity for
many years. The church suffered a
great loss when, in 1956, Dr. A. W.
Plyler died at the age of 89.
Last year, Mrs. A. W. Plyler es
tablished a fund, the interest from
which will each year bring an out
standing preacher to the campus.
Dr. Charles P. Bowles, Minister of
the West Market Street Methodist
Church in Greensboro, long-time
friend of Dr. and Mrs. Plyler, will
be the first Plyler Religious
Emphasis speaker.
