A MASTER PLAN FOR ATHENS COLLEGE The roads lit bright by the glow of knowl- edge converge upon Athens — buddling on the bank near a sometimes docile river, industry marked, culture laden, home of the Bears, Sweet Sue, and Athens College. Yes, to everyone, Athens and Athens Col- lege will give at least one special memory. Per- haps it will be the unique thrill of the Athens College-Jacksonville State ball game the night of February 4 at Jacksonville, or a quiet talk, or that special evening spent on the town. or an intellectually stimulating lecture. With all that the city of Athens has to offer and all that Athens College has to offer, every student ' s life will be enriched by the time that he spends here. The wealth of experiences and the emo- tions of the present will provide the memories of the future.

FACULTY APARTMENTS Built 1830 Aerial View of Old Campus Mr. Ingersoll once wrote: I gave a beggar from my little store of well-earned gold . . . and he came again, still hungry and cold as before. I gave a thought, and though that thought was mine, he found himself a man, supreme, divine, bold, clothed with blessings manifold; and now he begs no more. Few may know what they are capable of doing but by voluntarily performing under the lash of necessity they discover the capacity for achievement. Since books, then, with their thoughts, their experiences are the master instructors, the li- brary of wisdom is more precious to man than all riches.
