Union University - Lest We Forget Yearbook (Jackson, TN)

Page 20 text:

PRESIDENT The President ' s job has taken on a new dimension as plans for the new campus progress. He now has the two-fold responsibility of planning for the future students while also meeting the needs and desires of those presently attending the university. Because of his heavy schedule, the relationship between the President ' s office and the students sometimes becomes one of separateness. This, however, is necessary for the total progress of a newer and better Union University. Dr. Craig looks at an artist ' s drawing of the new campus during one of tlie many planning meetings with Dr. Ramsey Pollard, chairman of the Board of Trustees; Earl Swensson, Architect for the new campus, and J. A. Hadley, Trustee.

TRUSTEES The Board of Trustees is a group of professional men and women ranging from ministers, lawyers, and doctors to businessmen, teachers, and dentists, all dedicated to per- forming judiciary functions. John L. McRee, President of McRee Enterprises is welcomed as a new board member by Dr. Gerald E. Martin, Pastor, Popular Avenue Baptist Church, Memphis, (right) All trustees are elected by the Tennessee Baptist Conven- tion which is constituted as a body politic and corporate. In the past the trustees have performed such duties as changing the name of Southwestern Baptist University to Union University and securing a new charter with all rights and authority vested in the Tennessee Baptist Conven- tion. The ultimate objective of the Board of Trustees today is the full development of the total personality of Union ' s students in order that they may fulfill mature, responsible, and creative roles in society. It aspires to the goal of at- taining excellence in education at Union; therefore it promotes superior scholarship. Trustees. First Row, I to r: Dr. R.
