Dr. G. Wayne Brown Vice President of Academic Affairs Academic Dean The pursuit of knowledge, the challenge of the mind, and the desire to excel in one ' s work becomes the abiding ambition of each student as he diligently labors over his books. It is the duty of the academic ad- ministration and faculty to insure an academic ecological balance for students in their quest for knowledge, self-examination, and preparation for the future. Completing the whole personality of the Union student requires emphasis on the facet of religion. Such programs, activities and in- service vocational guidance in this field is overseen by the Dean of Religious Affairs. ACADEMICS Dr. Willis H.

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.

Dr. Eugene Baker Director of Public Relations DEVELOPMENT Dr. W. Walter Warmath Vice President of Development Union University has made a great deci- sion. In tlie forseeable future, it is moving to a completely new location and building not only a new college, but is joining with the community to develop the surroun- ding area. Because we at Union believe strongly in the worth of education on a Christian- oriented campus, and with our strong ties and support from the Tennessee Baptist Convention, we hope to evoke a response from the public in terms of financial sup- port and students.
