College of Business, event, 1975, photo 1

This image shows Chancellor Herbert Walter Wey (1969-1979) speaking behind a podium at the Red Carpet Inn in 1975. The event included a donation of five thousand dollars to Appalachian State University (1967-current). Four other men stand around Wey, and two members of the audience can be seen in the foreground. The money was donated to the College of Business at Appalachian State. The College of Business was established in 1970-71 with four distinct departments, including accounting, business administration, business, economic and occupational education, and economics. It occupied Smith-Wright Hall, built 1940, from 1970 to 1976, when John A. Walker Hall, built 1975, was opened. The college was dedicated to John A. Walker, founder of Lowe's Companies, in 1976.
