The friendly atmosphere, the
charm of the campus, and the good
food are three aspects of Salem
College which the State Visitation
Committee on Teacher Education
has enjoyed most, according to Dr.
Cameron West, chairman of the
committee and Academic Dean,
Pfeiffer College. In fact, the com
mittee has enjoyed almost every
aspect of Salem, and its work has
been made pleasureable.
The reason for the committee’s
visit and its work are connected
with the “New Approved Program
of Teacher Education” approach.
The visit is the result of a request
by Sal e m wanting to parti
cipate in the new approach which
certifies the training of elementary
and secondary teachers.
Dr. West explained that the com
mittee is here to visit and describe
the teacher education program at
Salem as reflected in Salem's self
picture of Salem. Dr. West said
these informal gatherings proved
most enjoyable, and he could easily
“see why the students and faculty
have the pride that they do in
Salem College.” As a matter of
fact he added, “I would love to

Salem Board Of Trustees Directs
Academy^ College Legal Affairs
By Sue Ann Brooks
The Salem College Board of
Trustees is a body of 33 members
whose chief responsibility is to
:ake care of the legal affairs of
the Corporation of Salem College.
The Board composed of Mora
vians as well as non-Moravians;
ovvever, the Moravian representa-
ives are in the majority.
Of the 33 member board, five are
representatives of the Provincial
Iders Conference of the Moravian
hurch. This body is a select
roup elected by the Moravian
hurch to operate the church.
The other members of the Board
.of Trustees are; the President of
Salem College, the Pastor of Home
aWoravian Church, the President of
Hhe
he Salem Academy Alumnae As-
t Delation, the President of the
Vinston-Salem Alumnae Associa
tion of the Academy, and three
people who are elected by the Gen
eral Alumnae Association of Salem
follege. In addition to these Board
members, six people are elected by
the Board of Trustees itself to
serve. The remaining 15 members
are elected by the Moravian Church
Synod of the Southern Province—
!jfcaking thirty-three Board mem
bers in all.
Every three years, five of the IS
members elected by the Moravian
Church Synod retire, as do two of
six members elected by the
foard itself. All 15 of the Mo
ravian Church members are elected
for a term of three years and may
be re-elected for the maximum of
three consecutive terms.
(Although a majority of the mem
bers are affiliated with the Mora-
San Church, the six Board mem
bers and the General Alumnae As-
.^ciation members do not have to
be Moravians. Those who repre
sent the Moravian Church are not
necessarily ministers. At present,
ftree of the five members of the
Provincial Elders Conference are
ministers, but the number varies
term to term.
^he officers of the Board of
Tjmstees are; the chairman, who is
fbe President of the Provincial
Elders Conference; the treasurer
®nd assistant treasurer, who man-
sgo the finances; the secretary, who
's the official correspondent; and
the clerk, who keeps the minutes of
fbe Board meetings. The clerk may
or may not be a member of the
Board of Trustees. However, if he
is not a member, he may not exer
cise voting rights.
Executive Committee
Within the Salem College Board
of Trustees there are several com
mittees organized to carry out
effectively the work of the Board.
The Executive Committee is com
prised of the chairmen of the
Finance, Building and Grounds, and
Academy committees. The secre
tary of the Board is also an Exe
cutive Committee member, as is one
member of the Provincial Elders
Conference. In addition the Board
selects two Board members to serve
on this committee. The duty of
the Executive Committee is to act
on behalf of the whole Board be
tween meetings, which are held
every fall and spring.
The Finance Committee is a
three-member committee (appointed
by the chairman of the Board)
whose chief duties are to prepare
the budget, order the annual audit,
supervise funds, and work in con
junction with the comptroller and
treasurer.
The Building and Grounds Com
mittee, of which there are five
members (appointed by the chair
man of the Board), carries out the
repair, maintenance, and decoration
of the campus and buildings.
The Academy Committee handles
any affairs relating to Salem Aca
demy; the committee is made up
of nine members.
Special committees, in addition to
these standing committees, may be
appointed by the Board should the
need arise. The committees work
to carry out the policies made by
the Board and may also recommend
any change of policies made by the
Board.
The organization of the Salem
College Board of Trustees is ad
vantageous in that it combines the
membership of church-related as
well as non church-related factions.
All of the boards work together to
serve Salem Academy and College
in the most profitable way.
