President J. W. Cady and Dean C. C. Burrus returned early this month from Louisville, Ky., where they attended a meeting of the Southern Association of Colleges.
During the first half of 1963 the Texarkana College faculty conducted a self study and evaluation of every department and activity of the college and made a report to the Southern Association of Colleges. In the fall of 1963, having examined the report of the self study, the Southern Association sent a Visiting Committee to Texarkana College. At the recent meeting of the Association in Louisville the TC self study report was approved and accepted.
Approval of the self study report means that Texarkana College will continue to be recognized as an accredited member of the Southern Association of Colleges.
The improvement of accreditation practices in the Association, which has 404 junior and senior colleges as members in good standing, constituted the main study of the Association during the Louisville meeting.
President Cady also attended a meeting of the Colleges Delegate Assembly while at the conference.
