DR.. Robert NJ. Stevens Reelected
President Campbell College

of the Eighth Eiscopal Dis
trict, and Chairman of the
Board of Trustees, that the
Board arrived at thi acstion.
Bishop Frederick d. Jordan,
and DR.. Robert M. Stevens,
during the past two years,
have worked comparatively for
the progress which is evidenc-
ed at the College.
DR.. Stevens, in his progress
i've manner, has manned the
College toward unprecedent-
ed heights. The Institution,
nearing the twilight hour,
came forward as a new col
lege destined for the best on
a Junior College level. In the
midts of this challenging era
of Administration, disaster
struck, and a sixty-nine year
old dormitory burned; how
ever, with farsightedness, on
the part of Bishop Jordan and
President Stevens, within ell
even months, the ultra-mod-
ern Artishia w. Jordan's Girls
Dormitory was dedicated. 1t
is acclaimed by all as the fin
est of its kind on Junior
College mpus. The Pres
ident has been instrumental in
a complete revision of the
academic program, and as a
result, a broader and more
intensive program is offered
the students. Having studied
thoroughly the economic sta
tus of the Negro in Mississip-
pi and Louisiana, and, the job
preferences of the high school
graduates, the President in
troduced the Terminal Pro
grams in Business and Cos
metology. The Cosmetology
Program received all due i'm
petus from Bishop Jordan, and
one year following his appoint
ment to the Eighth Episcopal
District, the School of Cos
metology was dedicated in a
building completely furnished
and equipped and one APP
roved by the Mississippi State
Board of Cosmetology. This
was an accomplishment for
this church related college,
for it marked the first such
program on a Junior College
Campus.
Displaying his administra-
tive ability, DR.. Stevens has
led the school in a rogram OF
coordination in all of the ar
