The streamers of lights, and de- coiated Uets art- lovely, transform mg Clinton into a “Christmas City. Joanna Adorned President Brown initiated an en dowment campaign in 1947, and by the official audit of May 31, 1949, he was able to show an operating surplus for the year of $26,782 26 and an • endowment of $509,098.49, with no debt. Committees from the Southern Association visited Presbyterian college and studied its records and all phases of college operations. Conferences of President Brown and Dean Bellingrath with associa tion officials at Houston indicated P.C. met all standards of the ac crediting organization. Commenting upon Presbyterian's restoration to full membership, Dr. Brown said: ‘This, of course, means a great deal to the college and its students. In the past P.C. graduates have been recognized and highly regard ed bv those who knew the college’s reputation. Being on the accredit ed list means immediate approval of graduates in circles where P. C. is not widely known." President Brown added: “Presbyterian’s position regarding educational training is clearly em phasized in the fact that its educa tional expenditures per student ex ceed by one-third the association standard, current library expendi tures are 50 percent in excess of the Southern Association requirement and the number of books in the P. C. library are more than twice the amount specified fpr acceptance. Christmas Cards To Cost Two Cents Postmaster W. D. Adair declared yesterday that the old familiar one and a half cent stamp, used by Christmas card mailers for many years, has been discarded.
