C. O. October 21 when members of the faculty including deans, the Interim Committee, and heads of departments were interview ed. In Htr October Pf. Benjamin Mays of Morehouse College, Prof. Ira I?‘id, of Atlanta University, and President Goodrich 0. White of Emory University were interviewed at length by telephone. The names of Eeid, Mays and Clements were sug gested to the committee as possibili ties for the presidency of the col lege, but according to the report, they were interviewed on other names and not their own availability for the position. At the meeting of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in L,otiisville, Ky., in early December several competent people were interviewed on many names then before the committee, the report states. In commenting on the tyjie of man who was sought for the position, the committee said: “Your committee has not been interested in a x’®’’®®” political-mindedness, as that term is generally understood, although it is clear to all of us that the president of the college should be at home in worthy efforts to cultivate the friend ship of all groups of i>eople and in the interest of wholesome public re lations. This quality, the members of your committee believe, is of im mense importance in the development of the college and of Negro educa tion of high quality, to which the responsible people of North Carobna are clearly committed. The president of this institution now, more perhaps than at anv time in the past, must bo a man of s:ine views in public re lations as well as a diligent and in telligent student of education, under graduate, graduate and professional. • ‘ The members of your committee believe that the successor to Dr. Shep ard should have administrative skill; have vision and imagination to under stand the significance of this ex panding instititiou and to guide its future development: energy and in- dustry; high educational standards, and other, qualities of leadership that would be an inspiration to the facu - ty and students, alumni, the com munity and the ".tate. He will need also to be deeply symvxithetic with and hosi>itable to graduate and pro fessional work which will bo more greatly in demand among Negroes than at any time in the past. ‘ ’ Hr.
