BOARD OF TRUSTEES This body of twenty-one members serves as the administrative brain trust of the college. It is charged with the task of keeping the col- lege close to the purpose for which she was founded— that of providing the best possible in Christian higher education. It is full realization of their responsibility that led them to initiate plans for a Fund Campaign. Working in close cooperation with Dr. Marsh, the Board presented the South Carolina Con- ference of the Methodist Church with a twin- bill plan to raise $3,200,000.00 to meet the immediate needs of the college. Half of this sum is being solicited from non-alumni and non-Methodists with the balance to he raised through the Methodist Church. The Board, ten of whom are ministers and eleven laymen, carefully outlined the most important needs of the college and provided sound measures to assure the use of the dona- tions in areas of greatest need. The plan promulgated by the Board is nol one totally concerned with brick and steel but provides for increased faculty salaries, more scholarships for worthy students and other edu- cational advancements.

THE FACULTY ALMOST SIXTY YEARS of experience as faculty members stop for an informal word. A striking feature of Wofford ' s history has been the fact that a surprisingly large number of faculty members have chosen to remain with this small college through- out their teaching careers, many for forty or more years. Why has Wofford seemed a good place to spend one ' s life? Partly because it is a small liberal arts college, for men only, with a large degree of harmony and coopera- tion among administration, faculty and students; in no small measure because it is the heir of a fine tradition and enjoys a respectable reputation in educational circles; but most of all, for most Wofford teachers, because Wofford is dedicated to the ideal of uniting religion and learning in the training of men. —A Faculty Member.
