Present Trustees Have Varied Interests The present Board of Trustees of Gardner-Webb College is now made up of twenty-eight civic-minded and consecrated men and women, who are organized Into groups of committees with the avowed purpose of helping to build a great institution which bears the names of two of North Carolina’s great families, one of which is that of the great international statesman, the Honorable O.
