and open house in Elon’s
new library, after which
the guests moved to Mc
Ewen Dining Hall for the
SHOTZBERGER

The appearance of Dr.

was an instance of the
growing cooperation be
tween Elon College and
Catawba College, both in

ter institutions.
Dr. Shotzberger, a for
mer dean and head of Un

formally assumed his new
duties on August 1st.
The Catawba president,
who lost an arm while
serving with the United
States Army in Italy dur
ing World War II, came
back to pursue his edu
cation, and he has been
connected with several
institutions, among them
Lynchburg College, Ohio
State University, the
Medical College of Vir
ginia and Kalamazoo Col
lege as well as Richmond
and Cp'awba.
