f h d cars GROWTH - Jj ! - WW i -- In July of 1 943, Dr. Elliott accepted the presi- dency of the college, bringing with him a com- munity-service concept of education. Shortly afterward, the Memorial Fund Enlargement Campaign was launched. By the first of 1946, the college was free from debt and the appraised value of all assets was $850,000. Two years after Governor Gardner ' s death, a building was dedicated bearing his name— the O. Max Gardner Memorial Student Union. In 1948 Gardner-Webb was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and unconditionally admitted into the North Carolina Baptist Family of Colleges. Just one year later, the College Community Health Center opened, and in 1952, the John R. Dover Memorial Library was dedicated. In President Elliott ' s tenth annual report to the Trustees, he listed the college ' s total assets at $1,718,288. And since that report a new girls ' dormitory, costing approximately $240,000 has been built, and a combination gymnasium-recreation center and a swimming pool to cost about the same amount is under construction in this Golden Anniversary year of Gardner- Webb College. —These facts have been gleaned from Lengthening Shadows, a history of the college written by F. B. Dedmond, published this year. SPORTSMANSHIP Page 104 CITIZENSHIP Page 126
