Board of Trustees Chairman, John R. King, stated that 'when Brad Crain hit the campus in J, , dse February he landed running and has not stopped sincef' This best sums up the hectic agenda of Lees-McRae College's President in his first year in Banner Elk. His agenda for the year g reads like a travelog as he has journeyed the eastern United States in search of benefactors S and foundations to aid the college in its pro- grams and expansions. Dr. Crain's dedication, energy and hard work, and untiring efforts are witnessed by the refur- bishing of the buildings on campus, and with the many landscape beautification projects. He has been instrumental in expanding the educa- tional programs as well. His concern and inter- n iif A A est in the student is not only evidenced by his open door' policy to the student body but by his continuing desire to improve the programs and facilities of the college. Active in church and civic affairs, Dr. Crain is constantly in de- mand as a speaker. Educated at Berea College, receiving his B.A. degree in English in 1965, Dr. Crain received both his M.A. degree f1968l and his Ph.D. de- gree f1973l in English from Harvard University.
