Or Townsend is really doing things right over there, commented a member of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia about Dr. Maurice K. Townsend, who is in his third year as president of West Georgia College. Doing things right, in the Townsend philosophy of education, includes sound academic programs that have general as well as practical educational value for students and a viable student activities program that contributes to the quality of campus life. The inky blue Mercedes is parked in the president ' s slot for long work days and smoke curls upward from the ever-present pipe, as Dr. Townsend makes those intermediate decisions designed to culminate in the superiority of WGC among learning institutions. With typical northern reserve, interpreted by some as aloofness, Dr. Townsend offers few insights into the individual behind the office. To those close to him, he is known to be tough and cool under fire, but understanding when best efforts have produced less than the desired results. Freshly cut roses, zinnias, or camellias which he brings many mornings to Sanford Hall give their colorful evidence of Dr. Townsend ' s appreciation for the gardens so carefully tended by college groundskeepers. The house that IS the block, as the president ' s residence is known, is home to the closely-knit Townsend family of six. Their daily schedules could easily resemble the arrivals and departures at Hartsfield International Airport, with Mrs. Townsend serving as air traffic controller. Since 18 year old Leslie is away at college, Leah, 16, is serving as pil ot for herself and the boys, Steven, 14, and Bradley, 12. After-school activities may include drama lessons, midget football practice, and swimming meets. Mrs. Townsend, in addition to formal hostessing duties for the president, is in demand by local organizations for demonstrations of her skill in drying and arranging flowers. She also finds time to serve as a consultant in personnel policies and public relations programs for area hospitals and businesses. Although the demands on Dr. Townsend ' s time are numerous and the respites few, quiet moments will find him in his favorite chair with one of many books which he purchased that week covering topics ranging from agriculture to zoology. When finished, he donates them to local libraries and high schools, thereby broadening his scope while increasing their collections. 15
