As Anderson College continues to expand so do the needs for a larger administration. This year Anderson College added another office in its administration. The office of administrative associate was filled for the first time by Dr. John L. Slaughter of Spartanburg. Dr. Slaughter left the pulpit at the First Baptist Church of Spartanburg where he served 15 years. Dr. Slaughter ' s 40 years of experience in dealing with youth while in the ministry will be a valuable asset to them as he will be devoting much of his time to stu- dents at Anderson College who have volunteered for specific Christian service. As the opportunity presents itself, he expects to teach Bible and kindred subjects in the college ' s instructional field. Prior to his post in Spartanburg, Dr. Slaughter served as pastor of Leigh Street Baptist Church, Rich- mond, Virginia, for 13 years, also pastored the First Bap- tist Church, Birmingham, Alabama, for over 14 years. He received an honorarv doctor ' s degree from Howard College of Birmingham. He received a B.S. degree at Mississippi State Col- lege and his Doctor ' s Degree (Th. D. ) at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky. Dr. Slaughter is proving to be of great worth to the college in the area of public relations. He is in great demand as a speaker for manv occasions throughout the state which enables him to present Anderson College to these groups. Dr. John L Slaughter, admini- strative associate of Anderson College. ADMINISTRATIVE ASSOCIATE Before his office was ready, Dr. Slaughter spent many hours In the front parlor.

Many of the needs for the physical facilities of the campus are presented to him for consid- eration. Mrs. Rohrbach, I would like 100 copies of this letter by this afternoon. J. K.

At first he was a part-time teacher and academic dean; but as the institution has grown, he has given up his classroom work.

A World War II veteran, who was disabled while holding the rank of Captain in the Air Corps, Dean Butler has his B.S. and M. Ed. Degrees from Clemson Univer- sity, and his B.D. Degree from Erskine College. C. E. Butler, academic dean Louise, I want to see this boy. Please send him a letter to come by at once. 26
