description

This article, written by Eugene Olive, was published within the Biblical Recorder. It outlines the significant decision made by Wake Forest College to relocate from its original site in Wake County to Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The move was initiated following a generous offer from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation in 1946, which pledged an annual income to the college on the condition that the institution relocate and build new facilities. The article provides details about the efforts of the college trustees and the Baptist State Convention's Committee of Seventeen to raise funds for the construction of the new campus. It discusses the progress made in securing financial pledges, offers from donors, and the challenges involved in ensuring sufficient progress by July 1, 1952. The article highlights the financial goal of approximately $28 million for the new buildings and endowment, with North Carolina Baptists contributing to the effort.
