1963 SPRING FOARD MEETING
SUCCESSFUL
The Annual Spring Meeting of the
Board of Trustees took place April 2324, 1963, with the following members in
attendance: Mr. J. S. Cullins, Mr. Edwin
Dunaway, Dr. Raymond Franks, Mr. Graham Hall, Mr. A. Loy Jones, Dr. Joseph
E. King, Mr. William Nash, Dr. R. D.
Crockett and Dr. William Clark. Dr. Mvron F. Wicke, Special Consultant from the
Board of Education of The Methodist
Church, was also present. Mrs. Herbert
L. Thomas, Jr., now being the onlv woman on the Board, was elected to the
Board, Class of 1966. She lives in Little
Bock.
During the meeting, President Crockett
submitted for consideration an operating
budget of $766,000.00, representing the
largest current budget in the historv of
the institution. It was the feeling of the
Board that we have launched upon a new
era of physical growth and educational
development. Philander Smith at present is one of the finest educational facilities in the nation as it relates to liberal arts colleges. Room for expansion
at the institution is great because plentv
of land has already been purchased and
awa-ts only resources for construction.
Indeed, a new image has already been
erected and is destined to secure more
students, more friends and more financial
resources for the college.

The South Central Regional Conference
of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., was held
on Philander's Campus May 11-12. The

in an address by Mrs. Julia Stutts Polk,

The Conference held that Africa presented a great challenge to the women
of America. The challenge is the help
which American women must give to
these newly liberated countries
faced
with severe problems of education, social adjustment to the new ways of li f e,
health and economic development. The
American must learn to communicate with
them through their own native languages
and to gain their confidence.

F A R E W E L L TO BUDLONG AND
A D E L I N E SMITH H A L L S
Budlong and Adeline Smith Halls representing landmarks of Philander Smith
over the years have had to give way to
make place for future development. At
present they are three-fourths demolished. Each had been condemned by the
city Fire Department because of deteriorated physical conditions.
At the spots where they once stood, a
fitting memorial is being installed to remind graduates and friends of the sacredncss of those two spaces.
Razing these two buildings w i l l be one
more step toward the goal of removing
every undesirable structure on the 30
acres representing the present campus.
Every building left standing is either new,
or in good repair, or w i l l be repaired
very soon. Everyone is delighted with
the beauty of the physical aspects of our
campus.
