VOL. 7 NO. 2 STETSON UNIVERSITY, DELAND, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER, 1978 Lee Named to Development Post Dr. H. Douglas Lee assumed his duties as vice president for development at Stetson last month. He succeeds W. Michael Chertok who resigned in June to take a position with the University of Louisville. Dr. Lee served as university relations director at Wake Forest University from 1973 until he came to Stetson. He headed Wake Forest's corporate and foundation fund raising. He had a primary role in the successful completion of Phase I of that university's capital campaign and served as development coordinator for Phase II. "Dr. Lee has excellent experience in the field of university development, and this, together with a strong academic background, seems an ideal combination for Stetson with its established educational reputation," Stetson president Dr. Pope A. Duncan pointed out. "We will face many challenges and opportunities in the future, and Dr. Lee shares with us the enthusiasm we feel in welcoming these coming years. We have been impressed with both Doug and his wife, Margaret." The Danville, Va., native earned a B.A. in English from the University of Richmond and both bachelor's and master's degrees from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He received a doctorate from the University of Iowa in Christian ethics. Prior to his position at Wake Forest, he served on Virginia Intermont College's faculty and was director of educational development and director of church relations at that school. The new Stetson administrator has been a frequent consultant for industries in North Carolina in the fields of communications, time management and motivation. He has been a lecturer in the Babcock Graduate School of Management at Wake Forest. "Lee comes to Stetson at a time we are setting our sights on the observation of our Centennial and the many challenges that will come during our second hundred years," Dr. Duncan explained. Lee and his wife have two children, Gregory — six and Elizabeth — four. Alumni Accounts in Arrears Stetson alumni directory accounts totaling more than $14,000 remain unpaid, according to the Bernard C. Harris Publishing Co. Alumni ordered the directories from the publisher, who shipped the books in May. A company representative indicated volumes were mailed to all alumni who ordered them including those not prepaid. The publisher cooperated fully with the alumni association in the publication of the volume and urges alumni who have not paid their accounts to do so in order that the company "may close out all specifications on this directory project." The company also expresses its thanks to those alumni who paid promptly. NEW VICE-PRESIDENT WELCOMED - Stetson President Dr. Pope A. Duncan, left, welcomed the University's newly-appointed vice president for development, Dr. H. Douglas Lee, to campus. The former Wake Forest University administrator arrived at Stetson last month.
