President A .W. Mohn. whose re
signation was accepted by the board
of trustees a month or so ago and'
whose leaving occasioned so much;
anxiety on the part ot the people ot j
Franklin County and elsewhere, will
remain as President of the College,
having been given a six months leave
ot absence by the board of trustees.
This action will allow President Mohn
to fulfil his contract with the Pres
byterian University In Tennessee, at.
ter which time he resumes active
work as President, and will carry
on the development program of the
College, looking to the raising of $1,.
990,0600 for buildings and endowment,
which program wfed Unanimously
adopted by the board of trustees at
a recent meeting. A11 differences ot
policy between President Mohn and
several members of the board of trus
tees, have, we understand, been set
tled and the College, we believe, will
now go forward with brighter pros
pects than ever in Its history. When
the present plana tor the Qollege
have been carried out Louisburg Col
lege will ? have capacity for between
480 and 800 bonding students and an
endowment of halt million dollars,
sufficient to properly maintain the
College on a high plane and meet all
the requirements of the various state
and national accrediting agencies.
Five new buildings are a part of the
taUding program.
