Libragf Improvements, More Scholarshzjvs Coming CWC now had an endowed chaplaincy, due to the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Edward O. Stoddard ot Denver. The fund is known as the Loo M. and Edward O. Stoddard Endowed Chaplaincy. Mr. and Mrs. Stoddard are shown above at the Design for Distinction Dinner at the Brown Palace Hotel. Mr. Stoddard, who is active in Denver investment circles, has been a member ot the CWC Board of Trustees for many years and also served as secretary of the board until last spring. Construction of the Houston Center of Fine Arts is only a part of the first 2-year goal. The plan calls for 5B600,000 for scholarships to meet the needs of students who will be enrolled. The academic averages of entering CWC students are steadily rising and will continue to do so under an expanded schol- arship program. The Design program calls for S525,000 for faculty enrichment during the next two years. This program will be implemented in many ways. Curriculum changes and im- provements will require additional faculty members and the retention of the master teachers now on campus. The number of faculty with the doctorate degrees will be increased. To provide this tiner faculty and larger stu- dent enrollment with the tools needed in modern education, the Design for Distinction calls for a S400,000 expenditure in the next two years for library collection. To give students additional opportunities to come in contact with distinguished scholars, authors, artists and musicians, S100,000 is being sought for an expanded scholars in residence program. Mr. Nicholson added. Seventy-five thousand dollars will be allo- cated through the D. for D. program to complete the Porter Library basement to provide additional space for classrooms and book collections. This improvement and the construction of the Houston Center of Fine Arts will make CWC facilities even more appropriate to the educational tasks of the college.
