C., have entered into an agree ment that will permit grad uates of a junior college to enroll at a four year college as juniors with a direct trans fer of full credit for academic work completed at the junior college level. ^ The announcement was made today in a joint statement by Dr. Theo Strum, Dean of In struction at Elon College and Dr. Ben F. Wade, Academic Dean at Brevard College. Elon College was chartered on March 11, 1889, “to afford in struction in the liberal arts and sciences.” Its establishment was the result of determination on the part of the Christian church, now the United Church of Christ, to have a school which would prepare young people for leadership in the churches. Elon, located just west of Burlington, now boasts aii en‘- rollment of over 1800 and a modern physical plant valued at over ?9 million. The college is headed by Dr. J. E. Daniel- ey, now in his fifteenth year as president. Prior to the new direct trans fer arrangement, Brevard grad uates were given credit only for those courses taken at Bre vard that were also offered at Elon. Also grades of “C” or better on courses at Brevard were computed at Elon as a straight “C” average. Now all grades are transferred at their face value and no hours are lost on courses not in the Elon cur riculum. “We are most pleased that we can now accept Brevard College graduates as direct transfer students and offer full credit for their academic work at Brevard,” said Dr. Strum in the announcement. “We look forward to a good working relationship between Brevard and Elon.” Brevard sponsors workshop Twenty-five teachers and 50 students from High Schools in Western North Carolina were guests of Brevard Col lege on October 27 for a workshop on the environ ment, sponsored by tjie Di vision of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.
