For Fall Semester
With so many colleges suffering a decrease in enrollment,
Clark is enjoying an increase as 730 students registered for
first semester classes as of October 4.

were being used as of the above date since the official re

Institute Held
“We should view our educational
task in the light of the crucial char
acter of the time in which we live
and the demands which these times
make upon the educational institu
tions in which we teach,” comment
ed President James P. Brawley at

The Clark president discussed
principally the opportunities open
to college teachers and the responsi
bilities attendant upon these oppor
tunities. He called the student “the
center of the educational process”
and urged faculty members tc see
that their students have such a start
that they will continue “to pick up
momentum, increasing in interest
and growing in statue.”
That Clark College is a church-
related institution was obvious as
Dr. Brawley outlined the College’s
aims and pressed for their realiza
tion.
Business Manager S. V. Jeter dis
cussed the private college in terms
of finance-relating his remarks
especially to Clark.
A talk on “Selection and Use of
Films in Instruction’’ by Mr. T E.
Roberson of the U. S, Department
of Public Health, and the viewing
of “The Difference,” a film point
ing up the advantages of the church-
related college ended the morning
session.
