t .ft •4 M C il it Bw ■I ‘Mystery” Assembly Brings Surprising News When the unexpected assembly was called on September 26, rumors flew from student to student that Wesleyan had come into a large sum of money or that the college was bankrupt. A few observers guessed correctly that Dr. W. Earl Strickland would announce his resigna¬ tion as president after nineteen years in the position. When the Wesleyan community as¬ sembled in Porter, everyone knew immediately that the news was not all good — the trustees on stage were tense and somber. Randolph Thrower, chairman of the Board, read the let¬ ter of resignation and said Dr. Strickland had accepted an offer to teach in the Religion De¬ partment after the arrival of a new president. The final decision had not been easy for Strick¬ land. However, he felt that younger ene rgy was needed for the new fund drive. He is entirely confident of Wesleyan’s future and will contin¬ ue his support. Wesleyan owes much to Earl Strickland. Dur¬ ing his years as president, the college endow¬ ment increased; Hightower, Willet Library, and the Art Building were constructed; the tennis courts were finished; and Tate was renovated. The campus has been modernized with parking spaces, air conditioning, the Snack Bar, and the Rec Room. In addition to these exterior changes, Dr. Strickland has improved every major department. Even students who do not realize the material and educational contribu¬ tions of Dr. Strickland know him as a concerned and interested administrator. His warm person¬ ality and quiet spirit are part of Wesleyan’s secure and progressive environment. 29

mm§ •J® - wrm ' 1 Intercollegiate Team Shows Promise The first volleyball game, played the last week in September, opened a busy schedule for the intercollegiate team. Wesleyan’s volley¬ ball players often found themselves on the road this fall with ten matches away from Macon, including an Invitational Tournament at Colum¬ bus College with the University of North Caroli¬ na, Valdosta State, and North Florida Junior College. At home, the team defeated Mercer of Atlanta and Augusta College. Though the sea¬ son record showed more losses than victories, Wesleyan’s volleyball has steadily improved in the past years. The large number of freshmen on this year’s team promises better records ahead. 28 d
