Howard M. Phillips PRESroENT OE BIRMINGHAM-SOUTHERN COLLEGE As president of Birmingham-Southern College, Howard M. Phillips has encountered the problems common to most liberal arts colleges today. Specifically, he has faced decreased enrollment, lack of funds, and perhaps most perplexing, an attitude of apathy and discontent on the part of students. In the face of his many responsibilities Dr. Phillips sometimes escapes to one of his favorite hobbies, photography. This is a fitting hobby for one who understands development so well. While some of his proofs are still blurred, many clear prints have evolved. Perhaps the most striking new picture is seen in the positive enthusiasm of the 1964-65 freshman class. Images of new buildings begin to take shape as Dr. Phillips talks with architects. 21
