Dr. Branch
Claude F. Gaddy of Raleigh,
well known to many on our
campus, has been nominated to
serve as acting general secretary
of the Baptist State Convention,
succeeding the late Dr. Douglas
Branch. The convention’s board
of directors (General Board) will
act on the nomination Monday.
Until his retirement nearly two
years ago Mr. Gaddy was close
ly associated with the seven N. C.
Baptist colleges as head of the
Council on Christian Education.
That post is now held by the
Rev. Ben Fisher, whose son Hugh
is a freshman here.
Dr. Branch was killed in an
automobile accident near Ahoskie
last week. Formerly pastor of
the First Baptist Church at
Rocky Mount, he had been gen
eral secretary-treasurer of the
900,000-member state convention
less than four years.
