Dr. Hinds, who was fifty- three at the time of his death, reached the culmination of a distinguished academic career when he was named a Nice- President of the College by the Board of Trustees, He was also Chairman of the Department of Mathematics. Born in Algood, Tenn,, he received his first academic honor as valedictorian of his high school class in Bamberg, S C.

Hinds "Many persons have contributed significantly through the years to the development of Western Carolina College, and Dean A. K. Hinds is one of those who has contributed maxi= mally to this development. For 31 years he served the institu= tion in an efficient, dedicated manner, first as Instructor of Mathematics, later as head of the Mathematics Department, and, since 1958, Dean of the Col* lege. During these years the college has had many problems resulting from growth, especially the curriculum and all phases of the instructional program. "It is impossible to measure the value of his contribution. It is to be found in the hearts and minds of those whom he taught and of tiose with whom he served. "Dean Hinds' able leadership in addition to activities of an educational nature embraced civic and church activities. He worked in the interest of his fellow man providing leadership for young men and young worn en and the adults with whom he was associated. "My personal association dates to September, 1949. No college president could have had a more honest and loyal associate. Another strong character trait was his fairness to students, faculty, and citizens with whom he served. In my years of experience, I cannot recall ever having heard a student or faculty member say that Dean Hinds was unfair. "His activities reflect an observance of the rules of life on the very highest level. He will be sorely missed by all of us, but the quality of his service will be an inspiration for our future activities." -PAUL A.
