hi.-.-.- -.q--q-o-I- The College Has Made Tremendous Strides U mier Hi5 Leadership No man has worked harder than Dr. James P. Brawley for the growth and develw opment of Ciark College, Through his con- tinuOus efforts to carry the Clark story abroad, Dr. Brawley has won countless sup- porters for the institution. A man with vision and foresight, a man with ability for planning, :1 man with in- itiative for successful compietion, Dr. Braw- ley is acknowledged throughout the nation as a top college administrator, a staunch Methodist, and as a congenial, helpful, and sincere person. One of the most astounding aspects of Dr. Brawlcy is his ability to maintain his characi teristie mild, gentle manner after long hours with reports, faculty meetings, interviews, and countiess miles that he travels in the in- terest of his Work for Clark College. In heralding the 87th year of Clark Col- lege, students, faculty and alumni could look hack on a period of tremendous progn tess in development of the campus physical plant, curriculum, and look ahead to an even brighter future for the College under the leadership of President Brawlcy. A native of Texas and :1 graduate of Sam- uel Huston College, where he was a member of the College Glee Club, the Male Quintet, a soloist with the choir, Dr. Brawley has been at Clark since 1925. In 1926 he was appointed Dean of the College, and in 1941 he was elected to serve as President of the institution. So closely has James P. Brawley been associated with Clark progress that it is al- together faring that these pictures, showing both cam- puses, be placed on the Presi- dentjs page. Clark has known four 10- cations: a small. schoolhouse in Atlantis Summer Hill, a corner at WJhitehaIl and Mc- Daniel, South Atlanta at the end of Capitol Avenue, and the present site which was constructed between 1939 and 1941. gt?
