Educational Department Receives National Accreditation
Salem Is First Liberal Arts College In North
Carolina To Get National Recognition
As a result of the meeting of
the National Council for Accredi
tation of Teacher Education on
April 11-12, Salem College has been
fully accredited for the prepara
tion of elementary and secondary
school teachers, effective Septem
ber, 1957. Salem, in meeting the
standards for national accredita
tion, became the first liberal arts
college in North Carolina to re
ceive this recognition.
Such accreditation is important
because of the prestige Salem will
gain and because it will now be
much easier for Salem students to
get out-of-state teaching jobs. As
Dr. James Hillman of the State
Department of Public Instruction
in a letter of congratulation to
Dr. Gramley, “This is a big step
for the course of teacher education
in North Carolina. Other colleges
will now begin seeking accredita
tion.”
In considering Salem’s accredita
tion, the council reviewed a report
prepared by a visitation team which
was on Salem’s campus last No
vember. The team, composed of
Dr. Roosevelt Basker of George
Peabody College for Teachers, Dr.
Charles G. Caldwell of Madison

College, Dr. Joe F. Wilkes of the
University of Louisville, Dean
Kenneth Kuehner of Coker College,
and Dr. Flillman visited classes and
talked to students and faculty.
They were guided in their inquiry
by a complete report on our pro
gram prepared by Dr. Elizabeth
Welch, Miss White, Dean Hixson,
and Dr. Gramley.
The National Council for Accre
ditation for Teacher Education was
begun four years ago. At that time
only teachers’ colleges applied for
accreditation. However, the pro
gram has been expanded to such
an extent that Dr. Gramley feels
that within the next ten years
practically all liberal arts schools
will find it necessary, to have their
teachers training programs accre
dited.
