' r -tt fei Bryan Gains Regional Accreditation In a climax to years of plans and efforts, the college receives regional accreditation by being admitted to the membership of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. This monu- mental achievement is the result of much cooperation on the part of many people associated directly and indirectly with the college. The great improvement of the physical plant, the securing of a large number of new doctorates for the faculty, and the successful completion of a $300,000 fund-raising drive were important factors in this great step forward for the college.
