THE HOLSTON CONFERENCE Special Called Session, The Holston Annual Conference. Central Methodist Church, Knoxville, Tennessee, November 7 — 8, 1958. For her entire history, Tennessee Wesleyan College has been related to some branch of The Methodist Church. During much of this time, the College has belonged to and received its major support from the Holston Annual Conference. The interest of the members of the Conference in the expanded program of the College has grown steadily through the years, and concurrent with the emphasis upon institu- tions of higher learning throughout The Methodist Church, Holston Conference has made a careful study of its three colleges and their needs and possibilities for further service. As an expression of their faith in the institutions, the members of the Conference held a special session in Knoxville on November 7 — 8, at which time they voted to undertake a two-million dollar fund-raising campaign, the major portion of the fund to be used for the religious programs on the campuses of institutions within the Conference and the three Conference colleges. All of those who are connected with Tennessee Wesleyan College deeply appreciate the loyalty of the Conference to the College, and every effort will be made to continue to be worthy of enthusiastic support and concern.
