Administration Approved
Even though students, alumni
and ^he many laymen friends of

of Trustees of the institution to
elect a new president in its com
mencement meeting, no such
action was taken by the group.'

brated the seventy-fifth anniv
ersary of its opening, and also
had been recognized, as Class
A college by the Southern As
sociation of Colleges and Se>
condary Schools. This recogni
tion had come partly as the re
sult of the good work done by
graduates^ of the college in
vifrious professional and gradu
ate schools, and partly as 4he
result of increased support fiwn
the American Church Institute
for Negroes and the National
Couneil of the Episcopsl iDIlarcb

The Seventy-fifth Anniver
sary Celebration held, in Janu
