FOREST A
1834
WAKE FOREST COLLEGE
WAKE FOREST, NORTH CAROLINA
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
September 22, 1951
time
Mr. Matthew J. Connelly
The White House
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Connelly:
Interest in our plans for October 15 is constantly rising over the
state. We are ready now to use our contacts with radio stations
and with the newspapers to release final announcements. We are
preparing another letter to go out to the 11,000 alumni, to the
3,000 pastors, and through them to the 700,000 Baptist church
members in our state. All of this will be done as soon as we
have your permission.
In the meantime our committees in Winston-Salem and here at Wake
Forest are making thorough preparation. The ground has been
prepared and the speaker's stand is being constructed, all of
which provides a most impressive setting for a great occasion and
significant deliverance from our President on Christian Education
in the struggle for a free world. Again I want to thank you for
the encouragement that we have received concerning President
Truman's desire to attend. I shall call you again early next
week so that we may make the best use of the short time that re-
mains between now and October 15.
//
Very cordially yours,
Harold W. Tribble
President
