responsibilities I will continue my
deep interest in the college and will
support the new administration
nancially and otherwise, and I am
sure my Presbyterian friends every
where will continue to do so. I look
upon it as life's finest investment.
In retiring I am, with friends, setting
up a foundation within the college
endowment to carry on and perpetu
ate some of the more important func
tions which I have had the privilege
of initiating while serving as presi
dent.
“Under Dr. Brown’s capable lead
ership I expect the college to grow
and render, a service of increasing
importance. It has a great mission
and is performing it well.”
Dr. Brown will assume his duties
as president today.
