4 ST. AUGUSTINE’S RECORD AIST APPKECIATION OF DEAN BOYER (Continued from Page 3) tution realized that the Dean’s continued efforts to raise the standards of St. Augustine’s had received signal recognition, and ho received many expres sions of congratulation from alumni and other friends of St. Augustine’s.

Wilson, Student Secretary for work among Negro colleges of the Youn^ Men’s Christian Associa tion. Mr. Wilson has recently written to Presi dent Goold as follows: It was my good privilege to be on the campus of St. Augustine’s College during the month of Octobcr, 1930. As a person who has the pleasure of visiting most of the colleges of the country, it gave me great delight to make notation of certain definite hopeful aspects of your general campus situation. In order that you might bo certain of the things that I have in mind, I shall be pre sumptuous enough to list a few of the things which I believe are real assets to your present work and to the future development of the life of your entire college. First: The remarkable attitude of the faculty towards students, which attitude gave evidence of the sense of responsibility for helping students in the increase of their appreciation for developing tastes for higher standards of living. Second: A faculty, the members of which give evidences of a thorough background of academic preparation and evinced a spirit of friendliness which is reproducing itself in the general morale of the student body. Tliird: Physical equipment in the buildings, in cluding library, college chapel, dormitories, and administration building. This equipment im pressed me as being modern in structure and so arranged in general architecture as to servo the higher purposes of college training. Fourth: Students themselves were mentally and spiritually resilient and gave evidence of being happy in the atmosphere where they spend at least three-fourths of each twelve months. I shall be happy whenever I have the privilege of visiting St. Augiistine’s College again. Very sincerely yours. Frank T. Wilson.
