Nevertheless, despite its advantages and innovations in 150 years, Emory retains the independent spirit that inspired Uncle Allen Turner and his fel- low Georgia Methodists to establish the school that would become Emory College in l836. A century and a half after Emory Col- lege received its charter, Emory students plant no cotton and pay far more than S4 for a semester housing. Instead, the entire Emory community can commemorate a rich history of educational initiatives that have distinguished Emory as a champion of progress and free thought. Emory's past is filled with various experiments. Though not all succeeded, they reflected the founder's vision in one sense: the same courage Few and his companions needed to carve a school out of virtual wilderness has stayed with Emory's leaders through their many moments of crisis. The Emory community of 1986 some- times easily forgets that this university be- gan as a failed experiment. ln the comfort of a multimillion dollar endowment and a well established national reputation, Emory in 1986 has no daily reminders of ' x ' .. -t cotton crops closed the Georgia Cciij er- ence Manuel Labor Schoolp only by doning the manuel labor system couldfthe school's trustees build Emory Colleggon the school's foundations. The Civil fwar then erased what financial stabilitygithe College had built in its first years. Acgjatn, strength in time of trouble rescued as a Thanksgiving sermon by President Atticus Greene Haygood so impressed George l. Seney that the New York er gave the College Sl30,000, its firsfjieal endowment. Futhermore, when Erfipry moved to its Atlanta campus, a regifjnal depression made the transition tromijtiral college to urban university almost ble. Yet despite these difficulties, because of wise guidance through strained cirg, rn- stances, Emory not only overcame iQ, 'Pfi- nancial crises but also began to pros er. ln the 2Oth century, challeng yof Emory's academic integrity have if pst threatened the school. lmpending 'g l' - cial ruin thwarted, the University has n- countered instead pressure against i fn- novations and attempts to preserve ca- demic freedom. By banning major iF r- collegiate sports once they interferedf ith Emory's primary educational mis n, Warren Akin Candler weathered th x- pected reaction to an unpopular adm , trative decision. He thus spared Emo, ,f-to this day the commercialization and e s- sive gloritication of college sports. ,d en .. gr, ,, . w Q Fi . , T 'Tkl 'T'T Tl' fi'f'E:Tf'7luQ'f'1lff'F f3?W?Ei'2if 'I'TfWI,!5it'P-Li I5L'?f9?f'l 5silti 7Yf3'Vtf'i3i?' ??f 5m3 '?:f ' il 4'l- 3576 li' .

ff ., JY A4 0 l Jlf' sri . ggi Yi- r ln observing the l5Oth anniversary of its founding, Emory commemorates more than its history. The University pauses to honor those now helping build the community called Emory, those who rep- resent simultaneously the school's tradi- tion and promise. More than any other facet of the sesguicentennial celebration, the people of Emory provide true cause for the festivities marking a century and a half of success. Emory prides itself on its diverse popu- lation, as well it should. From the professor of law emeritus to the lVl.B.A. candidate, each participant in the Emory society con- tributes a unique portion to the Universi- ty's environment. Arriving from Druid Hills or Denmark, Emory people bring in- dividual goals for their stays here. These objectives range from earning a Doctor of Divinity to finishing a satisfying career in cancer research. No matter what the aim or how long the stay, however, each mem- ber of the Emory family adds a personal dimension to the common ambition of this community of scholars: enrichment and service through learning. Though Emory's individuals comprise a varied lot of back- grounds, interests, and abilities, their shared interest in education synthesizes these broad elements into a university. True to the sense of the Latin word univer- sus, Emory's people turn toward one goal. While Emory's past achievements fully deserve the attention they will receive during the sesguicentennial year, the Uni- versity's greatest wealth lies in this genera- tion of students, professors, and alumni. Benefactors of l5O years' development, the celebrants of 1986 lead Emory toward its next century and a half with the tre- mendous momentum of Emory's recent rapid explosion. Their accomplishments in the coming decades will determine whether Emory fulfills its potential as one of the country's fastest growing universi- ties. The Emory community of 1986 will not only commemorate the founding of Emory College but also have the chance to lead the University to unprecedented levels. Meeting this challenge may prove to be the most difficult task in Emory's history, demanding the absolute best from its vast resources. As a moment of reflection, celebration, and anticipation, Emory's sesquicentenni- al supplies the ideal point from which its community can launch the drive to place Emory among the nation's best universi- ties. By no means can or should this year's celebrants view the anniversary as an apo- theosisg Emory as its best remains far from perfect. A critical eye and a hopeful spirit, ' .'
