Alumni Say "Accept"
In a special session at Shelby Monday
night the Wake Forest Alumni
s association of Cleveland county urged
the Wake Forest^ trustees to accept
, the proposed gift of more than 10
million dollars from the Z. Smith
Beynolds foundation, which ia conditional
upon the transfer of the. college
to Winston-Salem.
In a formal resolution petitioning
the trustees- to accept the endowment
offer, the Cleveland county alumni
.group pointed put that it ia "more
. i. than three -times the present endowment
accumulated from all the gifts ,
of the college during the 112 years
- of its existence.' i
They further asserted thst the ^
snove to Winston-Salem would phase
the eollege within 25 miles of two- |
thirds of the population of North Gar
- ; }' oltna and would loave the present site
[ available for other "vital service"
i to tho Baptists of the State.
The resolution cited crowded condl'
tions in dormitories and in homes
; at ths^, college, and declared that.
. with the Ihcreased income from the
Reynolds endow nment, the school
would be enabled to increase its students
from 1,000 to 3,000 and to ac
commodate tbe many young Baptist
Students who yearly must be turned
- -away from the eollege doors because
of lack of facilities.
The group asserted that 3,000 Bap
