ford Road, looking across the new campus lake at night toward the magnificent new living-dining center on
the North Campus. The above picture was taken at night, and the view shows the lighted new build
ings reflected in the waters of the lake. The new center, which includes the Staley Hall for women students,

Consultant,
Visits Elon
Dr. Theodore Distler,
President Emeritus of the
Association of American
Colleges, has just con
cluded a three-day visit
on the campus of Elon
College, where he served
as an administrative con
sultant under sponsorship
of the national college

Such administrative
consultant service is a-

which are members of the
Association of American
Colleges and is supported
by a grant of funds from
the Lilly Endowment.
There is no charge to
the member institutions.
Dr. Distler had pre
viously visited the Elon
College campus in 1960
when he spoke at the
Founders’ Day Convoca
tions and met with the
Elon Board of Trustees.
On this visit just com
pleted, he noted the great
progress in the nine-year
period.
He expressed pleasure
at the nine-year progress
in the Elon academic pro
gram, the organization
and effectiveness of the
administrative team and
the development ofElon's
physical plant. Along with
the compliments for the
progress, he also dis
cussed Elon’s plans and
efforts for further im
provement which are now
underway.
Dr. Distler, who was
formerly a member of
the faculty at New York
University, dean at Lay-
fayette College and pres
ident of Franklin-Mar-
shall College, was for ele
ven years executive di
rector of the Association

holds 3 6 honorary doc
torates from colleges and
universities.
In addition to Dr. Dist
ler, other educators who

tants at Elon College

Snavely, president - e-
meritus of Birmingham-
Southern College; Dr.
Goodrich White, chancel
lor of Emery University;
and Dr. Thomas Jones,
former president of Earl-
ham College.
