Rundell Leads Lee College Toward Southern Association Status
Walter Rundell, appointed in 1945, aimed to build a strong technical vocational program without hurting academics, separate the college from public schools, and gain Southern Association accreditation. After years of effort, Lee College earned acceptance in December 1948, boosting enrollment from 251 in 1945 to 608 in 1948 and expanding offerings in auto mechanics, carpentry, electricity, pipe fitting, art, and music amid a name change from Lee Junior College to Lee College.
