Cunningham To Davidson
Concord, Nov. 30.-(AP)-Rev. John Hood Cunningham, pastor of First Presbyterian church, Winston-Salem, has accepted the presidency of Davidson college.
Cunningham notified J. A. Cannon, of Concord, chairman of a nominating committee of the Davidson college board of trustees, that he had decided to accept.
Cunningham was nominated president of Davidson by the trustees a few days ago to succeed Dr. Walter L. Lingle. He presumably will take over his post at the beginning of the second term of the scholastic year about February 1.
Dr. Lingle, president of Davidson college since 1929, asked about two years ago to be relieved of the duties of his post. At the last commencement, however, the nominating committee had not completed its report.
Dr. Lingle, it is expected, will continue to keep his home at Davidson.
