Friends Of Stetson Pledge $500,000 For Development Program Gifts and pledges totalling more than $500,000 have been received by Stetson University in the last three months for its building program, Dr. J. Ollie Edmunds, president, announced following a meeting of the university's board of trustees here. These gifts are in addition to others received for faculty salaries and recurring operating expenses. At the university's 75th aniversary convocation, held last November, the trustees and a group of civic leaders laid plans for a long-range development program designed to provide $6,000,000 for new buildings and a substantial sum of additional endowment for the university during the next live years. Sinco that time a quiet effort has been begun to acquaint a number of prospective donors with the university's plans for the future and to enlist their financial support. Later it is planned to extend this solicitation program over a wider area, with the active cooperation of many more of the institution's alumni and friends. Of the total announced today nearly a quarter of a million dollars has been subscribed by individual trustees. Included also is approximately $150,000 recently contributed by the Florida Baptist Convention toward the amount required to meet the university's most immediate building needs. Among the buildings planned for Stetson are a new library, science center, men's gymnasium, school of music building, fine arts center, chapel, building for the school of business, an infirmary, and addi- rional facilities for outdoor recreation. The obective for the current academic year was set at $1,250,000, almost half of which already has been subscribed, according to today's announcement. Four new members were welcomed as trustees of the university convened on the campus for the annual meeting. Attending their first meeting were Charles W. Campbell, Jacksonville vice-president in charge of South- Central operations for the Prudential Insurance Company of America; Ralph H. Ferrell, Miami, attorney and first deacon emeritus of Central Baptist Church, Miami; H. Terry Parker, Jacksonville,'m e r c h a n t, farmer, and member of the board of directors of Gulf Life Insurance Company, and Mrs. G. Dekle Taylor, Jacksonville, past president of the Duval Medical Center Auxiliary and the Duval Medical Society Auxiliary, a member of the board of the Junior League of Jacksonville and teacher in Riverside Baptist Church.
