The tradition began. Fifty years have not deterred the sense of cooperation and warmth expressed by the living and learning community in the heart of the Blue Ridge Moun- tains.

The campus itself provides students with the enioyment ot living close to the beauty of na- ture- The newest addition to the campus setting is the front entrance which reflects the colleges en during history. Here, where unspoiled nature is blended into the academic life of Brevard College, a unique learning experience unfolds. The majestic mountains beckon each student to recognize the beauty within his environment and within himself. In the Land of Waterfalls, stu- dents can escape into the wil- derness to find relief from the increasing complexity of con- temporary life. The Pisgah National Forest pro- vides thousands of acres of ad- ditional classroom beyond the realm of the campus. For half a century, the common goal has been intellectual growth. The supreme gifts of mother nature have added new dimensions to the education re- ceived here. It is a better beginning. One that encourages the mind and soul to absorb the grandeur of knowl- edge and the beauty of nature.
