Coltrane, who arrived here last week to assume active charge of the new institution, “We expect to make Brevard a col lege of opportunity for the young people of Western North Carolina and adjacent states,” said President Coltrane. “Brevard will r.ot lie just another college, but will be a somewhat different kind of college. Certainly, regular college work will be offered so that students completing the courses will bo readily admitted to advanced standing in the colleges and universities of the entire coun try. “In a genuine sense, however, Brevard college will minister to the needs, intellectual and spiritual, of young people who do not cave to study in other institutions. “Particular care will be taken from the htginning,” said President Col-1 trane, “ to conduct a type of insti tution which can be accredited by the state department of educatlion and the Southern Association cf Colleges and Secondary Schools. A faculty of scholarly men and women, well trained in the technique of teaching is the first essential in such a program. These men and women will be chosen not only for training and experience but also for their interest and devotion to the principles upon which the college is being founded.” The president has already inter viewed many prospective teachers and will be prepared soon to an nounce the complete faculty for the college for the coming year. “It is quite likely that the public will be surprised at the splendid array of experienced and \yeli trairied men and women who will be on this list,” said Mr. Coltrane. ' In order to make the institution of the greatest service to the young people of this region, the expenses are to be held to the lowest possible figure. After a study of the situation. Mr. Coltrane has announced that a student will be able to spend the en tire year at Brevard college for $200.
