J 11-4' Dr. Edwards Builds College as President The college's image and development are reflections of its president, and Illinois Cen- tral's growth from 2,500 to 4,000 students and its reputation throughout the state are attributed to President Kenneth L. Edwards. Being president involves a unique ad- ministrative personality. He must be able to articulate college needs to the Board and to the community, and he must be an outgoing person, able to get along with administrators, faculty and students.

When plans were interrupted by the state's freeze on building funds, the Board revised original proposals in anticipation of receiving an increased allotment to allow for more con- struction during the first phase of permanent buildings. Among the regular duties of the Board was the approval of new faculty appointments to accommodate the increased enrollment of 1,500 more students in September and the es- tablishment of a new salary schedule to at- tract high caliber instructors. College Board members are Zealy M. Holmes, Robert S Gorham Dr Donald W. Wilcox, Stanley J. Hodel, Vice President Mrs. Dorothy Herm President Dr John E. Dalton and Carter E. Hewitt.
