1981 Veterropt DEDICATION Always a congenial and enthusiastic campus personality, Dr. Walter Brown would go out of his way to help a student with a problem , whether academic or personal. He is an excel¬ lent teacher of philosophy who can make even the difficult and complex seem easy and under¬ standable. In his analysis of issues, he has the unique ability to present all sides, without im¬ posing his own ideas. Although now separated from Wesleyan, he is still remembered and loved by his former students. The senior class of 1981 dedicate this book to Dr. Walter E. Brown.

September brought a new class of Green Knights to Wesleyan. Their first few days of college life were spent in the orientation meet¬ ings of the new peer counseling program, and with enthusiastic upperclassmen. All Wes- leyannes were welcomed to Macon by local businesses at the annual Merchants Festival. The Oval Hall was filled with displays showing merchandise and services available in the area. Fall Convocation on September 4th opened a new decade, and the 145th academic year, of Wesleyan history. Dr. Kayron Me Minn gave the convocation address on the role of the liberal arts institution and its relevance to our lives. During the convocation an honorary degree of Doctor of Humanities was conferred upon Teh Ming Pao, president of Wesleyan ' s sister college in Taiwan. The final week of orientation brought sur¬ prises for the new Green Knights as they were introduced to the tradition of Rat. Members of the Wesleyan Community have questioned the controversial aspects of Rat, and were now giving the class of 1984 a chance at this brand of “sisterhood. ” The state of Willet Library was another Sep¬ tember surprise. The long-promised new car¬ peting was finally installed during the first few weeks of the term. The basic inconvience of a topsy tervy library kept students, professors, and the hard-working library staff busier than usual until the needed addition was complete. 1 Flora Hasty models a street length dress at the CSA fashion show held September 10. 2 Teh Ming Pao and President Hicks greet the college community at Fall Convocation September 4 3 The Tri K seniors march to the Porter Auditorium to hear an address by Dr Kayron McMinn, the first female academic dean in Wesleyan s history. 4 Assistant librarian .
