Brevard College The People Who Make It Work Are The People Who Work For It As a church-related college, Brevard is concerned not only for academic excellence, but for moral and spiritual excellence. Our expectations are for a style of life on campus that is unapologetically Christian, These expec- tations go beyond those of the secular college in terms of appropriate behavior. Each person is expected to contri- bute in a positive way to a wholesome and constructive campus environment. President Davis ' message to the student body summarizes the principles for which Bre- vard College stands. He and the Dean of the College, Branson Thurston, are dedicated to these principles and toward creating an atmosphere for students to acquire skills and knowledge and ' values which give meaning and direction to life ' . 12 I college involvement

5 The faculty is one of tfie special things about Brevard College. The classroom buildings are totally new worlds of learning through the sharing of ideas between stu- dents and teachers. There are many different attitudes and opinions found there, blending to form a potpouri of learning experiences. The blending process is also found outside the class- room. At the many campus events, in club meetings, and at the Student Union one can find the students and fac- ulty relating in still another way. There is always a re- laxed atmosphere of just getting down and talking. Experiences are present in every minute of every day. Many we can experience personally, others we must learn through others. That is how the faculty of Brevard College teaches: that is why they ' re here. •at j!lcd:SI mm ROBERT ALDINE DAVIS President BRANSON LUTHER THURSTON Dean ol the College SARAH CAMPBELL AKINS Art ROSGOE JAMES ALDERMAN Manager Sims SrudenI Union MARTHA GAIL ANDERSON Health and Physical Education EUEL HARRISON ATKINSON Director of Campus Security FRED ALAN BARKLEY Art SARA SCOTT BEARD English LINDA DOTSON BINGHAM Secretary Science Faculty ROBERT LEWIS BLOCKER Music HOWARD WALTER BOYD Biology LOUISE FAULKNER BRACKETT Hostess Sims Student Union 14 I lacultv
