Pfeiffer Junior College is under the general auspices of the Woman’s Division of Christian Service and Board of Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Church. The college is incor- porated under the laws of North Carolina and is directly controlled and managed by a Board of Trustees. The Pfeiffers contributed to the school again in 1941. when Washington Hall, the Arts and Industries Building, and the Henry Pfeiffer Chapel were begun. The endowment was also substantially increased. The period 1942-1943 has seen numerous improvements in the school. Extensive landscaping has added much beauty to the campus. Educational opportunities have been extended through the inclusion of an Arts and Indus- tries department in the curriculum, improvement in equipment for other depart- ments (notably Music), and announcement that Pfeiffer will offer summer school work for the first time in its history. The most noteworthy addition to the campus is the Henry Pfeiffer Chapel, one of the most beautiful and best equipped ecclesiastical structures in the state. Our acceptance in 1942 into the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools insures acceptance of Pfeiffer throughout the South, and our recent approval by the University Senate of the Methodist Church assures recog- nition throughout the nation. Yes. if Pfeiffer’s future is as bright as it looms, it is destined for still greater days.

FOREWORD In publishing this issue of the PA- JaCa. the staff has tried to recall for you an eventful and history-making year. As you go back with us into the realm of memories we think you will agree that it has indeed been an im- portant year at Pfeiffer as well as throughout the world. It’s not our purpose to make excuses; in fact, it’s not good journalism, but we hope you'll realize that our 1943 PaJaCa was published in a world at war. If it’s not quite what you ex- pected, we are sorry; if you like it— well, thanks! In designing our cover we have tried to emphasize the unity that exists be- tween the ideals of our school and the ideals of our nation by using school colors and the Statue of Liberty. Bob Kennedy.
