vard ('allege, yesterday released a
statement emphasizing the fact that the

n« \t >ear. He said that recent discus

"Although there has been consider
able discussion relative to moving Bre

should lie understood now that the col
lege will be in operation at Brevard

will be possible to maintain Brevard
College as a standard junior college at
the present location even if it should
be attached to a larger institution lo
| cated elsewhere. Freshmen now in the
college may continue their work next
year with the expectation of being
graduated In 1!>42, and with full ex
pectation of having their credits ac
cepted for junior class standing in any
good four-year college or university in
this territory.
“The regular .urnmer school will
open on Monday. June 16, and will he
jn operation for a period of nine weeks.
JThe fall semester will open September
6. Inquiries and applications now being
received indicate a good summer school
and a full enrollment for the fall
semester. The present faculty, with two
or three exceptions, will 1k> in charge of
the institution next year.
“At the next meeting of the Western
North Carolina Conference of the
Methodist church the term of six mem
bers of the board of trustees will ex
pire. These positions will l>e filled either
by the present members or by new
members who may be elected by the
Conference. The college administration
is eager for the public to know that
the college will be operated in the fu
ture on progressive policies."
