Board ol Trustees Since September of 1965, the Board of Trustees has made a step forward in a number of different areas. Approved by the Board was Furman's self-study program which resulted from a two year in-depth examination of every phase of university life and operation. In the area of scientific endeavors, the Trustees approved the Administration's work- ing toward the establishment of a master of science program in biology with the fall of 1966 as a goal. They also accepted the plan of the South Carolina Baptist Convention to finance the construction of an addition to the science building and named the building the John Laney Plyler Hall of Science.
