school presidents, most of them
long-time associates of Hall in
the early days when the com-"
munity college system was
being formed. Ceremonies con
cluded with a ribbon-cutting,
unveiling a portrait of Hall, and
an open house.
Chairman of the Board of
Trustees, James Strickland re
marked that "although Dixon
Hall headed this institution for
12 years, we all know that he
worked at least 24 years." It
was through his tireless efforts
that Dixon Hall achieved a great
success for others. He made
possible an avenue for adults to
better their lives through their
own hard work. He extended a
helping hand to those who
would avail themselves of
educational opportunity. He
steadfastly defended the Open
Door policy that has permitted
James Sprunt Institute to serve
over 50,000 adults of Duplin
County and surrounding areas.
The people responded to Dixon
Hall, the school, and its pro
grams. Because of the work of
Dixon Hall and others, such as
Dallas Herring, Faison
McGowen, Willard Hoffler,
Henry Stevens, II, all dedicated
to the concept of life-long
educational opportunity; and
the work and support of
thousands more, Duplin County
is a better place for all. Hall, a
native of Fayetteville and
graduate of East Carolina Uni
versity, came to Duplin with a
mission to establish a school. He
took the school to the people and
it was fitting that on October 27
the people came to him.
