He has been the re cipient of six honorary doctoral degrees, and has studied also in Germany and Switzerland. The 1961-62 academic year at Chowan has been perhaps the finest in the 114-year life of this great old institution. For the first time student enrollment soared over the 700 mark, reaching 701. A competent and dedicated faculty of thirty-six men and women have stood in the college classrooms. Presi dent Whitaker, the dynamic and agressive chief admini strator of the college, and his associates have carried out a quality and progressive pro gram of higher education. These things, plus a continu ing increase in interest and support of the college on the part of area friends and busi ness and the Baptist State Con vention of North Carolina, have combined to make this truly a banner year at Chowan College. Chowan has had a higher per centage increase of enroll ment than any other college in North Carolina over the past five years.
