Leonard G. Withers Professor and Chairman Department of Music I ,,,, . g -lu-Q., 7' The Arts Center being dedicated today bears the names of two of Potomac State College's most esteemed former administrators, Ernest Elliott Church, president 1936-1964, and Kirkland Shepherd McKee, dean 1936- 1963. They were an unforgettable team, working in the interest of Potomac State College for over a quarter of a century. The two educators began duties in their respective roles here the fall of 1936, Dr. Church following 17 years and Dean McKee 19 years of prior service in pub- lic education. Dean McKee died in office May 20, 1963. Dr. Church resigned July 1964 to become executive secretary to the West Virginia Commission on Higher Education, retiring from that position in July 1967. Their combined 55 years of service to this college spanned a period of growth from the meager to the abun- dant in every area of campus life. Theirs were rich and full years of service not only to this college but to the community and to the cause of higher education in the State of West Virginia.
