Seale model of the proposed armpu it will appear at its point of r shows Wake Forest as axuiinui del elopment. In 1964, the tirst seeds were sown that would grow, in time, and boost the College to university-s tatus. On campus, in classrooms, and in meeting halls throughout the state future horizons unfolded: foreseen is a graduate school in every department with doctors still teaching freshmen — tor here is the basis of academic excellence; foreseen are more and better-paid faculty members with more opportunity for study and receptive ears to the student whose mecca they have always been; fore- seen in future days is Wake Forest University em- blazoned on the tall sign at the Reynolda Road entrance. All of this and more, in the context of a Christian heritage rich in her product and dedicated to the inter- course of educator and student in the seemingly simple but arduous task of building men and women. This is Wake Forest ' s history — one of change, and with it the improvement that prepares her more adequately tor the new day that is always dawning. — Charles W ' inberry Class of ' 64 15

WF Past Meets Future In Year of Decision In the last graduation on the old campus, the college witnessed one era ' s end and the beginning of a new one. Despite the radical change in en- vironment, however, faculty, administration, and students carried with them to Winston-Salem the century-old traditions that lie at the heart of Wake Forest College. Today, the sign at the Reynolda Road entrance serves as a constant reminder to fourth-generation Deacons ot their school ' s proud heritage. Centuries are composed of years, however, and history is made up ot individual events. In 1964, perhaps paradoxically, Wake Forest saw a mem- orable year slowly advance to meet the chal- lenge ot progress within a framework of staunch tradition. In the future chronicles of history, 1964 will inevitably stand out as a peak in Wake ' s gradual evolution toward university status. In the midst of this future wave, certain un- changing patterns repeatedly recur to characterize the Wake Forest way of life and leave their im- pressions on the total experience ot every student. 50 832 555 , .■ ' ' ■]■■ ■ am I;
