McKendree University - McKendrean Yearbook (Lebanon, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1964 volume:

;S c b, V % 1 wtH 4 DEDICATION McKendree College and the 1964 McKendrean Staff dedicate this yearbook to St. Louis, Missouri, on her 200th Anniversary, 1764-1964. Although McKendree College is twenty-five miles from the city, it has become part of the metropolitan area of St. Louis. St. Louis provides a place of cultural, religious, and social interest to students and faculty. In the 200 years since her founding, St. Louis has grown from a small trading post into a large, modern city. McKendree College is likewise trying to advance from a small school to a larger, more cosmopolitan one. Both have acted as gateways of advancement - St. Louis as a gateway to the West in many areas, McKendree as a gateway to education in the Mid-West. With pride in both the City of St. Louis and our own McKendree College, we thus present this book. McKendree College - The Greatest and best in the Middle West.

McKENDREE COLLEGE DAMES ' CLUB Biblical Luncheon -1963 All wives of McKendree College faculty members, wives of emeriti faculty members, and women emeriti faculty are considered members of the Dames ' Club. The purpose of the Club is to further good will and fellowship among women at McKendree College; to promote the best interests of the college; to interpret the College to the public as the opportunity arises. A money-making project is planned each year. All money raised by these various projects has been used for some phase of campus improve- ment such as campus landscaping library books, and Clark Hall room im- provement projects.

The Cir- cuit Riders ' campaign (which brought in approximately $130,000 under board chairman Milbern P. Akers ' guidance) and the Expan- sion Fund campaign with approxi- mately $660,000 add up to more than three quarters of a million dollars from two capital drives in 1963. Such support by the alumni, churches of the Southern Illinois Conference, and other friends of McKendree is unprecedented in the history of the college. According to President Max P. Allen, ... these two successful campaigns have assured us at Mc- Kendree that if we continue to serve the young people who are coming to us in ever increasing numbers, we will be able to secur the additional support necessary to house and educate them in the finest McKendree traditions of quality that led Theodore Roose- velt to refer to McKendree as the oldest and best in the Middle West.

As a student for three and one-half years I have witnessed progress. The planning and success of the campaigns to raise funds show that people realize the value of a small school. As a native of St. Louis, I feel this city has also been making strides for- ward. The progress shown here at McKendree and the progress made by St. Louis is equally important to Illinois, Missouri, the Mid-West, and our Nation. As Editor of the 1964 McKendrean I hope this book will serve as a lasting memory to students and friends of the College. Dale A. Fertig, Editor.
