Alma Mator Dear to our hearts is our Alma Mater Loyal and true are we; Truest devotion till life is ended. Wholly we pledge to thee. Tho from thy halls far away we wander. Thoughts back to thee will fly. And tender mernries time cannot sever. Love that will never die. Heavens choicest blessings ever attend thee. Dear Alma Mater mine- No shadows harm thee, no fears alarm thee. Always the sunshine thine. And tho ' we leave thee, well never grieve thee. True to our trust well be; Our best endeavor, now and forever. Always to honor thee. — Mrs. Charles Sullivan, Sr.

COLLEQE The college continued as a four year school until 1930, at which time it opened as the first junior college in the state. Reorganization was made to a two-year school at the suggestion and under the guidance of Dr. Annie D. Denmark, fifth president for Anderson Col- lege, and its only woman president. « i.: WEST DORMITORY No complete history of the college can be given in this limited space, but some of the significant dates for the school can be recorded. Historical highlights for Anderson College begin with signing of its charter in 1911. In 1916, Dr. John E. White became president and, in that ye;ir, he re- financed the college, and had $61,00() pledged by local citizens for expansion. A new dorm, Whyte Building, opened in 1921. In 1930, when the school became a junior college, young men were also admitted for the first time as day students. PRESIDENTS HOME In 1938, during Dr. Denmark ' s administration, An- dersonians joined with the State Baptist Convention to pay off the bonded indebtedness for the college. In 1956 the first new building for many years ap- peared, as a new library was constructed during Dr. Elmer F. Haight ' s administration. A $200,000 expansion campaign followed in 1958, near the start of Dr. John E. Rouse ' s administration, with local citizens and industry coming to the support of Anderson College. In 1960 the student center-gymnasium was author- ized by the State convention, using both expansion funds and capital needs of the funds contributed by South Carolina Baptists. Accreditation by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges followed on December 3, 1960, after intensive work toward this by President Rouse and officers of the administration and faculty. Six days later, the gift of a new infirmary to the college by Mr. and Mrs. Max Rice was announced. A $100,000 bequest in the will of Mrs. H. H. Wat- kins was announced on December 24, 1960, to close out an eventful year for Anderson College. Mrs. Watkins said the gift was made in honor of her husband, the late Judge H. H.Watkins. Construction of a dormitory for boys was authorized at the 1960 Baptist Convention and plans for its con- struction iire in progress at this time. In Januiiry, 1961, a Living Endowment program for the college was inaugurated, at suggestions made by Dr. J. R. Young of Anderson in February, 1960. This program will have much to do with the success and progress of Anderson College, as the Baptist school enters the second-half century of its existence. 7
