- A portrait of President Mr. Edmund C. Peters. Mr. Peters came to the college as its seventh president in 1929, following his experience as a high school principal in Louisiana and a missionary in the Far East, and served until 1956. Under his administration, Paine College was accepted into full membership of the Southern Association of college and schools, and the curriculum was changed to meet the needs of the students. The Golden Jubilee was celebrated during his tenure; the Paine College Ideal was composed; and the Warren A. Candler Library, Randall A.
