PRESIDENT During Dr. Strickland’s seven years as president of Wes- leyan, there have been many innovations and additions. New facilities include Hightower Dormitory, the art build- ing, the recreation room and snack bar, and the language laboratory. In addition to these changes the dining rooms were air-conditioned along with Taylor Hall, four new tennis courts were constructed and the old ones resur- faced, the Manget Dining Room was redecorated, and an antiphonal organ was added to the Candler pipe organ. There has been a thirty-seven per-cent enrollment in- crease and a ninety per-cent increase in the total college budget since 1960. Each year academic qualifications have been raised. Further expansion includes a new dor- mitory and the Lucy Lester Willet Library which was begun this year. Also, under Dr. Strickland ' s administra- tion, greater responsibility has been given to the student body in governing and regulating its action. Working closely with Dr. Strickland, Mr. Huckabee plans for and initiates development of new facilities. Dr. James, as Academic Dean, works in close association with the faculty and students of the college. Dr. W. Earl Strickland, President 22 ADMINISTRATION
