Dr. Sidney Derrick. During his ad- ministration the citizens of Newberry made liberal donations to help buildagymnasium 119231 and a men's Dormitory 1,192-1-D, now named Derrick Hall.

During 194-3-45, through the Navy V-12 Program, the col- lege trained more than 1,000 men from all over the country. In 194-4 the citizens built and equipped VVright Recreation Hall for the use of the faculty and students. It was named in honor of the late Dr. Z. F. Wright of Newberry a prominent alumnus Nrxuhrrrg 6111111-gr IB 31-155 2 of the college and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Trustees. 1I1lVVith a rich heritage of service behind it, Newberry College looks forward to a greater tomorrow. In 1949, President Kinard announced a seven-year develop- ment program, aimed at successful culmi- nation by 1956, the centennial year. The endowment has been increased and funds are being sought for the erection of new buildings, the two most immediate needs being a modern library and a chapel. Funds for the two buildings will come from the Christian Higher Education Year appeal 1 19501 of the ULCA. lllllfunds have already been appropriated for the new library and work has begun on this building. It is hoped that the chapel will be started in the near future. 1HlWith the loyal support of the church, the alumni, and other interested friends, the college is confident of a steadily grow- ing future. grim -2-'-L' ,ml IY'.s,,,x - czfq' uhh E- ?LuZ 1' ll 1 ,H E:-':-1 L- - ffllll 'in ' - -,Q E is-.. -' Zfualfl 1,1 Ulm --, 5mTI?mVmllT lll'Swimlllrlllmlllnlllz-ml'llll llllMllUlll lTralll.l, ll ll llilllllff liqfllllllllS11ilr1N'1lNMl I Wimmfi?
