Wake Forest College. Board of Trustees          Historical Note
Wake Forest's Board of Trustees Architect's Committee seems to have begun around June 1951, made up on members of the University Board of Trustees, men from the Bowman Gray School of Medicine, and the architect. The group was formed to prepare to move the College's campus from Wake Forest, N.C., to Winston Salem, then home to the Wake Forest College Bowman Gray School of Medicine; this move was often referred to as "the removal."
Members of the committee included Trustees members William Conrad, E. L. Davis, L. D. Long, Stratton Coyner, Charles H. Babcock, Irving Carlyle, Harry O. Parker, and architect Jens F. Larson; his son Nils Larson also appears in meeting documents. Adjacent committees included the Committee on Date of Removal and the Building Committee. The Committee also had joint meetings with other groups and the President and other bodies attended occasionally, as documented in meeting minutes and related correspondence.
The Architect's Committee advised the Board of Trustees and thus President Harold Tribble on campus construction in Winston Salem. The committee also provided recommendation on how to fund building up the campus, such as a 1953 recommendation to propose a Baptist State Convention of North Carolina resolution to borrow funds to building dormitories and faculty apartments. Committee members also met with city, state, and companies that would be involved in setting up sewer, electrical, power, and road services to the new Winston Salem campus.
In December 1955, the Board of Trustees became embroiled in a sort of trial of President Tribble, through a "Special Committee to Investigate the Welfare of Wake Forest College" that had been established the previous month.
