His appointment by the Fisk board of trustees was unanimous, according to a press release. “Fisk has finished consecutive years with an operational surplus and is really bucking the trend on a host of fronts in large part due to the leadership of Dr. Newkirk,” board chair Frank Sims said. During Newkirk’s tenure, the school has launched bioinformatics, data science and social justice programs. Among his goals, according to the release, are enrollment growth, adding new programs, expanding corporate partnerships, improving student outcomes and “building national awareness around Fisk’s outstanding results.”

Commissioners Frank Sims, and Elmer Rawlings met in adjournment session about 9 A.M., with Chairman John Gentry absent. Lyon’s bond was cancelled on Sims’ motion and Rawlings’ second. The county clerk was ordered to return the bond to the Hartford Accident and Assurance Company in Connecticut.

HOSPITAL ROOM IS THE SCENE OF OFFICIAL’S SELECTION
A political thunderbolt rumbled across Pottawatomie County, as it flashed from a tiny room on the third floor of the A.C. H. Hospital on the afternoon of February 23, 1936.
