Thayer Hall bears the name of Reverend E. 0. Thayer, the seventh presi dent, and is the only building on the present site which still bears the name of a building from the old campus. In the seventy-five years of its existence, Clark has had sev enteen presidents. Of these, three, including the president in office, were Negroes. Clark has been fortunate in that its admin istrators have served and still serve with an uncanny power of love and devotion for the insti tution.

He re signed to become Secretary of the Methodist Education Board for Negroes. Prior to Dr. Braw- ley’s election as president he served the institution as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for fifteen years.
