Mullins Plans Increased Construction David Wiley Mullins was born in Ash Flat, Arkan¬ sas and graduated with honors from the UofA in 19)1. He earned his M.A. degree at the University of Colo- r adio and his Doctor of Education Degree at Columbia University. He also received an Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree from Hendrix College. Dr. Mullins has led a distinguished career in the field of education as both teacher and administratoi. Before returning to the University in 1960, he held various positions at Alabama Poly technical Institute, College of Education. He served as Research Professor of Education and as Executive Vice President at Au¬ burn University for eleven years. During his past six years of service to the Univer¬ sity, 1 lesident Mullins has done much to improve the institution. Enrollment has increased steadily, the school has embarked on a $50 million expansion program, and extensive growth has occurred in many other areas! For the futuie, the outlook is even brighter. In his annual report, the President revealed that during 1967 a gradu¬ ate education building, an undergraduate sciencelmild- ing, and the University’s first administration buildino- will be placed under construction. One of the crucial problems of the future with which Dr. Mullins will deal will be “attracting and holding an outstanding faculty,” even though the majority of faculty members recruited last year had their doctorate degrees. 23
