DARDA 3£ 19 2 6 A Prospectus T the closing of this successful school year under tin- leadership of President Benson we believe Trevecca is facing the brightest outlook in her history. The encouraging features maj be listed under the four following heads, an efficient President, freedom from debt, standardization and a well equipped faculty. We feel that the Board of Trustees could have made no better choice for President than Dr. A. O. Hendricks of Pasadena, California. He is not only equipped as an educational leader but he is a wonderful man of God who will be a leader also in the spiritual realm. A campaign has already begun under the leadership of Rev. II. II. Wise, to raise funds to relieve Trevecca of her debt. The greater part of the fifty thousand dollars has been pledged by the different districts of this school zone and there is a bright prospect for the remainder to be raised. Through the untiring effort of a few of our present faculty our high school is now recognized by the State as a standardized institution. The Junior College is rated and classified as a member of the Tennessee State College Association, and also a member of the American Associa- tion of Junior Colleges. This means much to the students who are here now, but will mean more to the students in the future. A school with a great president, without a debt and with all the ad- vantages of standardization, and recognition, would accomplish little without an efficient faculty. This is one of the encouraging features in the outlook for the new year. Our faculty are men and women of Christian character who have the broader vision of life and are interested in helping young men and women to secure a better education. Their qualification as educators compares favorably with any Junior College in the South. — Olixf Shelton.
