Many factors are intangible. are important to a A college, like an college, some are individual, must tangible and some grow and expand spiritually, physically, intellectually, and culturally. Progress then be- comes the keynote to a successful existence. The only alternative is to regress, to stagnate, to lose sight of the greater fields of endeavor and accomplishment. The students, the teachers, the friends and alumni of A. C. are eager to see our college emerge into a new era of progress. It is the earnest hope of all that such progress, conceived in a spirit of loyalty to our traditions and co-operation for our future, will create a greater inspira- tion to our students, new beauty to our campus, and a wider sphere of influence for the Christian spirit that A. C. holds forth. The standing of a college in the educational world is important. Progress in A. C.’s academic program must go on. Through the years many have labored long and patiently to raise the standard of instruc- tion, to build the classrooms, to provide a program of vocational guidance that would enable A. C. graduates to meet the demands of professional preparation and at the same time to enrich the life of each student. But no matter how large a college grows, how lofty its buildi ngs, how high its certifications, it offers less than nothing if it does not progress in the sphere of human relationships. A. C. offers an environment for the moral development and spiritual advancement of the individual. In the future our college must expand this environment to include an understanding of the needs of all men of all creeds. Here where the ivy twines over old Kinsey, where the great oaks stand strong and steadfast, we must preserve the heritage of our past, meet the needs of the present, and prepare for the future. In order ' .v •■'♦V '' '4 ' • • ■ that it may be a future of greatness for A. C., we hereby dedicate the 1955 Pine Knot to an idea and an ideal—to Progress.

Dr. Travis A. White the president of Atlantic Christian College The Student Body: Wilson, N. C. “We men of earth have here the stuff of paradise,” remarked a great American writer. We need no other materials than what are right here to “build the stairs into the unfulfilled.” Is this not the task of our years on the campus—building stairs into the unful- filled? These wonderful years at Alantic Christian, glorious in themselves, are but the workshop in which we construct the stairs into the unfulfilled. The enchantment of a great vision and lofty ambition in the days of our youth become the ashes of futility in our maturity unless we build well. Worthy ambition, adequate preparation, and sincere commitment to life will bring the unfulfilled to significant fulfillment. I wish you Godspeed in this great task. 8
