On November 1, 1956, Methodist College ofFayetteville was chartered by the state ofNorth Carolina as a four-year, co-educationalcollege of liberal arts. The desire and initiativeof the people of Fayetteville for a college wasmet by the concern and responsibility of theMethodist Church to provide Christian highereducation in an area of North Carolina whichhad hitherto been deprived of its own institutionof higher education.

As early as September 19, 1955 the desirefor a college was shown in the Fayettevillearea, by the appointment of a Steering Commit­tee by the Mayor to seek the establishment ofan institution of higher learning. The Bishop'sCommittee recommended on March 27, to theNorth Carolina Conference of the MethodistChurch, that a college be established. On May14, the Conference approved the recommen­dation of the committee.

The citizens of Fayetteville and Cumber­land County agreed to provide a 600-acre site,and to contribute $2,000,000 in capital funds,and to make $50,000 available each year forcontinuing support.

Organizations

The Board of Trustees held their firstmeeting on July 3, 1956. They chose Dr. L.Stacy Weaver as President. On June 22, 1957,Dr. Weaver pledged the college to two funda­mentals: "Academic excellence and the Chris­tian concept of Life." Building plans were soonapproved, construction began, all'd the firstfreshman class was admitted on September 16,1960. The College has had steady growth andapproximately 350 students will be enrolled bySeptember 1962. Two large dormitories arenow under construction which will house ap­proximately 300 students. Plans are made fora campus with 17 buildiIl'gs.

It is the aim of the college to be a ChristianCommunity, where persons learn to respecteach other; in common work, play, prayer,praise and service. The college is operatinga program, whose every phase of life is per­meated by Christian conviction, motivation,and concern.

The Board of Trustees delegates to thePresident and the faculty the management ofboth curricular and extra-curricular affairs.General policies governing student affairs aretherefore determined by the President and thefaculty.

During the formative years of MethodistCollege, the conduct of extra-class affairs hasbeen delegated to a Community Council com­posed of elected representatives of the student

body and faculty members appointed by thePresident of the College. Thus students par·ticipate in the experience of self·governmentand are encouraged to undertake as much reosponsibility for community welfare as theycan manage wisely within feasible time limits.Student representatives have been authorizedto develop a proposed plan of student govern·ment for faculty approval. The eventual formof student government will be determined afterthe first four classes have been admitted.

Members of the administration and facultycooperate in provision for publications andsuch organizations as are needed to serve thewholesome interests of the student body. Theseinclude the inter·denominational Student Chris·tian Association, the College Chorus, the Dra­matics Club, the Science Club, the Public Af·fairs Club (including debating), and the Psy­chology Club. All organizations functioning onthe campus must have the approval of theproper administrative authority, and are opento all students on the basis of merit.Extra·Curricular Participation

During a student's first semester at Meth·odist College he is eligible to participate in theactivities of the College Chorus or in those ofStudent Christian Association, or in both. Dur·ing any subsequent semester a student who isnot on academic probation may participate inadditional activities at his own discretion.
