Dr Harold G Cooke has become president of McMurry College in Abilene Texas. He arrived for his first day at the desk on Saturday January 9 after five years as Methodist district superintendent for the San Angelo and Llano districts. He sees strong prospects for the college.
The article notes an unprecedented postwar opportunity for McMurry and similar church colleges as the value of church-operated schools rises. It quotes a speaker predicting church standards will lead in spiritual values while state institutions set educational ones. The Cooke family joins the campus community, with sons pursuing ministry and pilots training, and other children in professional roles across the nation.
