•t Guidance, friendship typify Administration For the past nine years, Dr. W. Earl Strickland, nineteenth president of the college, has guided Wesleyan’s administra¬ tion. Although his primary concern is Wesleyan s affairs, Dr. Strickland is actively involved in his community, serving as -a member of the Citizens Conference for the Reform of the Georgia Judicial System, the Board of Directors of the Macon Council on World Affairs, and the Citizens Advisory Council of Robins Air Force Base. He is a past president of the Georgia Association of Colleges. Under Dr. Strickland’s auspicious leadership, Wesleyan has greatly expanded its facilities. Plans are now being formu¬ lated to double the size of the Candler Building. Eventually, all the administrative offices plus the alumnae center and museum will be located in this building. Following a fall survey by the New York firm of Marts and Lundy, the Board of Trustees approved Dr. Strickland’s recommenda¬ tion to begin a fund raising effort. When in effect, this pro¬ posal will greatly augment the endowment of Wesleyan and provide increased funds for physical improvements. The in¬ novations of Dr. Strickland’s administration uphold Wes¬ leyan’s tradition of “the Oldest and Best.” Dr. Earl Strickland President 22 ADMINISTRATION
