Godfre Works For Expansion Since accepting his responsibilities as President of Central State College in 1960, Dr. Garland Godfrey has worked consistently for expansion of campus area, in- crease in student enrollment and improvement of school teaching facilities. Called the building president by Oklahoma edu- cators and students alike, Dr. Godfrey saw a long- cherished dream become a reality this year with the completion of a three-million dollar, four-story Col- lege Center which was made available for student oc- cupation last fall. Under his administration, campus teaching and housing facilities have doubled, while during the 1967-68 school year, students could watch the construction of new Library and Home Economics buildings. He and Mrs. Godfrey played hosts at innumerable school functions this year for guests ranging from governors to students to legislators to state Board of Regents members. President Godfrey was born in Arkansas but earned three degrees from Oklahoma State University. Before coming to Central, he was a teacher, a principal and a superintendent of public schools.
