So many veterans had applied for admission by September, 1946, that the enrollment stood at the unbelievable hgure of 503, with 376 of them being former service men.

This library was opened for use in 1947, and, except for an unfinished exterior, is a hne addition to the campus, A campaign for endowment was successfully terminated on Detember 31, 1947, At the request of the director of the Veterans' division of the Lumberton High School. erening classes in college subjects were begun there during the second semester, 1951, This program was later extended to Fairmont, Six alumni gave their lives drrring the Korean Wai: Henry Brian Mlilfong, '46, john W, Sinclair, '463 jesse E. james, '47: Herman L, Furr, '-17g Rob- ert R.

On October 21. 1951. the Mary jane Lytch McNair Cafeteria building was dedicated, In November of that year the trustees announced that a chal- lenge fund of S100,000 had been pledged to the college, and that an effort to match this fund would be made in order to place the college upon a hrm Financial foundation, Thus the 1-'irm Foundation Campaign was inaugurated, The college was very fortunate in securing the services of Mr. james H. Duchine. of Marts and l,undy, Incorporated, as its campaign director. He entered upon his duties in june, 1952, and with excellent cooperation applied all of his energies to the work, Mr. Edwin Pate, chairman of the Board of Trustees and chairman of the campaign committee, announced at COIIIIIICIICCIIICXII, 1953, that the goal of 531111000 had been attained. As a direct result of the success of the campaign, the college was elected to membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in the fall of 1952, having previously met the other requirements for membership. To the teaching staff over the years much credit is due toward Presbyterian junior Colleges admission into the Southern Association, In addition to the names already mentioned, the following instructors have contributed much to the college during their connection: Charles R.
