— Dr. Earl Strickland B.Ph., B.D., M.A., D.D. President During the academic year 1964-1965, several proj- ects have been undertaken for the improvement of the academic facilities at Wesleyan. In November of 1964, a new building for the teaching of the visual arts was completed and occupied. This facility, containing over 10,000 square feet of floor space, is modem in every detail and one of the most functional buildings on cam- pus. Four full time teachers of art instruct in this rapidly expanding area of study. Wesleyan received a grant of $60,000 from a private foundation with the stipulation that Wesleyan match the grant with another $60,000 for the purpose of mod- ernizing Taylor Hall, the science building. A re-wiring of the building, was accomplished just before school opened in September and the rest of the $120,000 project will be completed after classes end in the spring. Adding to Wesleyan’s already superior facilities for the teaching of physical education, four new tennis courts were completed in October, 1964, along with the complete resurfacing of the four existing tennis courts. Between the spring of 1964 and the fall of 1965 three new faculty members will be added to the Wesleyan faculty. 30
