Self-Study
Committee Visits
Four outstanding Southern
educators were on the Brevard
College campus earlier this week
as representatives of the South
ern Association of Colleges.
The educators arrived on
campus Sunday for a meeting
with President E. K. McLarty
or.d dinner with the college fac
ulty. Later, a business meeting
was held with the college steer
ing committee, comprising Dean
Braxton Harris, Chaplain C. Ed
ward Roy, and Miss Bobbie Jean
Nicholson.
The four-man visitation com
mittee was directed by President
Floyd Turner of Virginia Inter-
mont College, Bristol, Virginia,
serving as chairman. Serving
with Dr. Turner were Dean Ken
neth Kyre, Shennandoah Col
lege; Mr. Paul Grier, Librarian,
Hampden - Sidney College; and
Dr. Paul Langston, Dean of the
School of Music, Stetson Univer
sity.
The visitation was a follow-up
of the year-long college self-
study program which ended in
August of this year. The study
is required of all the institutions
of the Southern Association of
Colleges, an accrediting organi
zation. The broad self-study in
cluded lengthy studies of the
faculty, the library and staff,
and matters of direct concern
of the students.
Following this study, a volu
minous report was forwarded to
the asscciational committM
whose executive secretary in
turn appointed the visitation
committee.
The over-all purpose of the
evaluators on campus was stated
by President Turner: “Our ob- j
jective is to visit the college and!
to investigate different areas of
instruction.”
Although no evaluation or
findings of the committee could
be released at the time. Dr.
Langston did state, “Portions of
the self-study are out of date
sjnce various corrections already
have been made.”
On Monday and Tuesday,
about 20 students were present
at a formal meeting with the
educators, “Trying to get frank
expressions of the students ad
justing to college life,” Mr. Grier
revealed.
Rough drafts of individual
findings were handed to Direc
tor Turner on Wednesday, Octo
ber 14. These drafts were ap
proved.
The final report will be made
at the Associational Committee
meeting in Louisville, Kentucky,
on November 30.
When leaving. President Turn
er complimented the college by
saying, “AH members are fav
orably impressed with the camp
us amd by the students in partic
ular.”
