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. DAN T.
