1 1 p. 168A-191 Jan. 26-Dec.14, 1923 Powell's annual report for 1922-23. Sections include: general, financial programme, the DAR loan fund, change of name of college, committee on home life of students, faculty, farm, financial statement/budget, and needs of the college. Of note in the report are Powell's comments that the college is deep in debt, but student enrollment is increasing; recommending the name change to Georgia State Womans College at Valdosta; and reporting that many faculty are leaving for better paying positions at other schools. Dec. minutes show that Executive Committee passed resolution to name first two dorms after W.L. Converse and C.R. Ashley, in honor of their service to the school. Other minutes contain "usual" business (funding, construction, faculty), but of note are the outstanding debts of the college that are discussed in nearly every Executive Committee meeting.
