For Dissolving Cent. Jurisdiction
Clark College President James P. Brawley was principal
speaker in Cincinnati recently when leading figures of the
Central Jurisdictional Conference met to explore ways and
recommend dates for dissolving the racially segregated Cen
tral Jurisdiction of the Methodist Church.
The issue of dissolving the Cen
tral Jurisdiction has been under
study for several years. The Cin
cinnati Conference was called by
the College of Bishops of the Cen
tral Jurisdiction at the request of
the Committee of Five, established
in 1960 to study data related to
segregation in the Methodist
Church. Dr. Brawley has been
deeply involved in this study on

New Minor Planned
Dean McPheeters has announced

speech. No definite date was re
leased as to actual time when the
minor will be listed as available.

Dean C. R. Hamilton Resigns
16-Year Position As Dean of Men
Dean C. R. Hamilton has an
nounced his resignation from the
college. His resignation follows
continuous service to the college
for the past sixteen years—a pe
riod in which he gained respect
and admiration from thousands of
Clark students who passed through
the college since 1946.
A tireless worker for the de
velopment of student service pro
grams, a man whose interest and
devotion to the college are unsur
passed, Dean Hamilton will be
greatly missed.
Dean Hamilton came to Clark
from Gastonia, North Carolina,
where he taught biology at High
land High School. In his first few
years as Dean of Men at Clark he
was a volunteer assistant to the
football coaching staff, a fact little
known among Clark students to
day.
Shortly after his coming to
Clark he assumed the additional
responsibility of directing the col
lege’s student recruitment pro
gram. Handling this role with the
effectiveness which is typical of
him, Dean became one of the most
highly respected college recruiters
in the field. His use of a movie film
in recruiting established a practice
that has been widely adopted in re-
Dean Hamilton
cent years.
In his principal capacity as Dean
of Men, Mr. Hamilton is known as
a firm, yet understanding counselor
who gives freely of his advice to
anyone who asks it and offers it
equally as freely. A tireless work
er who has many times gone be
yond the call of duty in the pur
suance of his service to Clark, Dean
Hamilton has made many signifi
cant developments in the Student
Personnel Services Program.
