THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE My tenth message to you is one of gratifying progress and genuine opti- mism for the future of your Alma Mater. All of us are especially grate- ful for the marvelous improvements which have been made in our physical plant during the current year through the generosity of our friends. Will any of us ever forget the joys of sharing in the dedication of King Science Hall on Sunday afternoon, November 26, 1958? Every Piedmont student of chemistry, biology, and physics has thoroughly enjoyed the practical efficiency, beautiful appoint- ments, and comfortable atmosphere of the first building in Georgia, according to the Georgia Power Company, that was completely heated and cooled by electricity. All of us are profoundly grateful to Dr. and Mrs. Robert J. King, Alumni, Trustees, and all other friends who gave generously of their substance and time to the strengthening of our total program. They gave, and enjoy giving, because they believe in you, the students of Piedmont College. They believe in your abilities to learn and they are confident that you will take your full measure of responsibility in all of your social and community relationships, especially as active supporters of your Alma Mater. They believe in your desire to become constructive and crea- tive citizens of the world. They believe in your devotion to God and your partnership with all men of good will. The gym, too, had a wonderful new look last fall. The sturdy lion emblems, designed and painted by Dick Taylor and Dean Sheetz, a new hardwood floor, an acoustical ceiling, glass backboards, and freshly painted walls give us all a big lift. Your fellow students of last year have graduated and pressed on to a variety of major respon- sibilities in the work of the world. Teachers of elementary children, leaders of high school youth, business executives, housewives, and graduate school students are all happily and successfully at work. They are discovering the adventures of applying the knowledge and spirit of college days to the practical tasks of their respective callings. Visiting them in their homes and at their altars of toil provides many wonderful compensations for me during my days of traveling from coast to coast as an interpreter and ambassador of the college. I am deeply confident that all of you who have shared in the life of our campus this year will also be successful in all the worthwhile adventures of the years ahead. Our abiding concern and warmhearted affection will go with you through all the years ahead.
