December 19, 1966—A Day To Remember
Accreditation...
(Con’t. from page 1)
“This early recognition ful
fills our fondest hopes and re
wards our determined drive for
recognition of the quality we
have sought to build into our
young college,” Dr. Collins said
in announcing the decision.
“We are filled with apprecia
tion for all our friends in Nash
and Edgecomlie counties, In the
Methodist Church, and for the
many friends everywhere who
have worked, contributed, and
prayed for this achievement,”
said Luther W. Hill of Tarboro,
Chairman of the Board
of Trustees. “This recognition
will impel us toward new
goals.”
College officials explained
that from registration of the
first student, their clearly re
cognized primary goal has been
accreditation. They have work
ed in cooperation with re
presentatives of the Southern
Association from that first
year. Dr. Gordon Sweet, ex
ecutive secretary of the College
Section of the association, has
visited the campus several
times.
The first review committee
visited the campus in October
1963 under the chairmanship of
Dr. Donald Dearborn, president
of Catawba College. Two
months after this visit, N. C.
Wesleyan was elected as a Can
didate of membership.
A self-study was undertaken
during 1964-65 with Dr. Peter
Gerschefski, assistant profes
sor of music, serving as chair
man. This was completed dur
ing the summer of 1965.
Another visiting committee
spent several days on campus
during April 1966 to examine
the college in light of the self-
study and the association’s
Guidelines for Accreditation.
This committee, headed by Dr.
Francis Bonner, academic dean
and vice president of Furnun
University, made its recom
mendations to the committee
on credentials.
Dean Moore, in commenting
on the final vote of the as
sembly, said, “Already the
trustees, administrative offi
cers, faculty and students have
accepted as their goal the en
hancement of great teaching and
learning atwortncaronna wes-
leyan College. Strengthened by
this approval, we shall move
forward in all areas of the
college life.”
(Con’t. from page 1)
“Whereas the faculty voted
to eliminate academic sanc
tions from chapel attendance
and recommended that alter
nate attendance proposals be
made, we recommend for fac
ulty approval:
1. That the Dean of
Students be authorized to deter
mine those students who should
be excused from chapel
attendance.
a. That two absences
be permitted each sem
ester without excuses.
b. That for a third
unexcused absence, the stu
dent be placed on room re
striction from 7:00 P. M.
to 7:00 A. M. for a period
of four days.
c. That for a fourth
and each subsequent unex
cused absence, the student
be on room restriction from
7:00 P. M. to 7:00 A. M. for
a period of eight days.
2. That enforcement of
the restriction
a. for the resident
student, be the responsibi
lity of the Residence Hall
CounciL
b, for the day student,
be the responsibility of the
Student Life Association, who
would take action in case the
student should violate the
restriction.”
According to Dr. Wilde, Dean
of Students, the present con
ditions allow for “disciplinary
action which can be determined
on the basis of each individual
case.” Dr. Wilde sees this
as far superior to having a
set punishment due to the fact
that it will give him the
freedom to take the offenders
reason for the unexcused ab
sence into account.
