out of state.
He has been in charge of pre
paring and assembling the col
lege catalog each year, design
ing and writing promotion bro
chures and handling publicity.
Mr. Wallace stated that his
release from college assign
ments will make it possible to
give full time to a project of
private study, also, for him and
Mrs. Wallace to do more trav
eling abroad next year.
