FOUNDERS HALL AT ATHENS COLLEGE, ATHENS, ALABAMA Athens College is the oldest institution of higher learning in the state. In 1822 the citizens of Athens purchased from Judge McKinley a five- acre plot of ground to be used for a female academy. In 1831 Judge Mckinley deeded another five-acre lot to Robert Beaty. All this land was later to become a part of Athens College campus. As the academy prospered, leading Methodists in the area encouraged its enlarge- ment to a four-year college. A Methodist Conference in 1842 adopted a resolution calling for the establishment of a female institute of high grade. The town of Athens enthusiastically donated in less than three weeks, the required $10, 000 to be- gin work on the building - today known as FOUNDERS HALL. Athens CoUege students today, in this moon- walking era, accept enthusiasm as a powerful force in life and greet the davv n with enthusiasm and expect satisfaction at sunset.

How much is a sunset worth? A sunrise? These are things that have no price. Their only value is what they do for us. Each of us has just so many sunsets and sunrises. Let us learn to appreciate them each day. Education, Ph. D ' s, varsity sports - national criteria for college selection; yet, professors, texts, and buildings are not sufficient. All colleges offer these; Athens College challenges the student to use them.
