This year is a time different from preceding years, yet strangely similar. We discover new ideas, new knowledge through expanded curriculum. Rendering service vital to campus life, we attain new honors through organizations. We reach new heights of physical prowess and new glory through our athletic program. However. Augusta College is faced with the complex problems of a growing institution. While it must be designed for educational, economic, esthetic. and cultural value, it must also be a source of pride to the people of the community as a center of their growth and aspirations. To meet these needs and aspirations, we incorporate our proud heritage with hard work and a spirit of sincere dedication. Emerging from all this are the makers of tomorrow — our student leaders. 28

It is impossible to mention here all the tangible improvements made at Augusta College, much less the intangible but equally important influences and spirit that has been fused into the student body during the past forty years of remarkable progress. Our debt to the past can be remembered and will be seen in every facet of our future lives. As 1967 marks the fortieth anniversary of Augusta College and the first g raduation as a senior institution, it also marks the end of forty years of teaching by a man whose career serves as a pattern for others to emulate. The WHITE COL JW staff takes great honor in extending to him our most sincere gratitude for the fountain of guidance and beneficial influence he has been and most certainly will continue to be. For these years of devotion and service to Augusta College, we humbly extend this dedication of the 1967 WHITE COLUMNS to Mr. Joseph Talley.
