/ The Clinton Chronicle Vol. 67 —' No. 4 Clinton, S. C, ThussdoyrJdnuary 27, Richardson Science Hall Honors College Benefactor Presbyterian College has nam ed :ts new science^building'the Richardson Ha!l of Science in tribute to its friend and benefac tor. IT. Sr Ith Richardson, re tired chairman of the Vick Chemical Company, President- Man C. V, crsing has announc ed. . He said the PC board of trust ees chose th's name for the $850,000 structure as a means of honoring the prominent busi ness executive who has contri buted so much to Christian high er education both here and else where. The science building, just com pleted and in operation, is one of three new buildings erected by PC as a result of its 1962 capital funds campaign. President We- ersing pointed out it was the Richardson Foundation that in jected vigor into the drive with the largest grant given to the college up to that date. Its dra matic challenge helped to boost the South- Carolina Synod to a record effort that produced $1,- 941,204 for plant and endowment additions. The two other buildings — new dining hall and women’s dormi tory — were completed last fall. Construction on the new science hall was carried on simultan eously but moved more slowly to delay full use of the building , until recently. Dr. Macdonald To Lead Off in Kiwanis Series of Programs Dr. Malcolm A. Macdonald, president of the Kiwanis Club, is to be the kickoff speaker for a series of 1966 programs on the theme, “Leadership for Freedom,” at a meeting to- ' night, January 27, at 7 o’clock at the Mary Musgrove Hotel. According to an announce ment today from the Kiwanis Club, Dr. Macdonald will out line the club objectives for the year, indicating what members can do to support the year’s goals. The Kiwanis' Freedom Lead ership Pnogram is designed to identify the heritage of free dom in this country, to in- f crease understanding of essen tial elements of that freedom, and to provide leadership to increase respect and apprecia tion for freedom to the end that it will be defended, strengthen ed and perpetuated, according to the announcement. Kiwanis programs for the year are to be centered around the theme, “A Call to Leader- i ship,” with specific programs designed to further understand ing of the need of leadership for God, Peace, Freedom, Country, Government, Youth, and Free Enterprise.
