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.

As it now stands, Richardson
Hail of Science dominates the
new East Piaza formed by the
three new buildings. Its facade
— in harmony with r sing colon
ial Georgian architectural pat
tern of the campus — features
s x limestone . columns rising
from second - floor level above
arched entrance ways. The
structure is built into a rolling
grad" to show three floors from
the front and two from the back,
ivlv re ent ance is into the sec
ond floor area.
The most modern accommo
dations in laboratory and class
room facilities are provided for
the physics department on the
Trst floor, the biology depart
ment on the second floor and the
chemistry department on the
third floor.
Richardson Hall is air-condi
tioned throughout and is servic
ed by sta rs and an elevator. Its
use as a science facility replaces
Jacobs HaH, wh ! ch was erected
in 1915 and named in honor of
Founder William Plumer Ja
cobs. With laboratories now re
moved, Jacobs Hall will receive
more extensive use as a class
room building and w ll continue
