Being a music professor, it is a thrill to have a music building after 20 years and, most of all, our own auditorium to work out of. Dr. David W. Cuttino Baptist is finally getting to be the school it was meant to be in size and in purpose. Dr. Silas H. Garrison Baptist truly has achieved academic excel- lence in a Christian envi- ronment. Ms. Vera Frances Johnson The desk clerk at the St. John ' s Hotel (the first BCC dorm ) would hide the students ' mail, and they would drop water balloons on him from the staircase.

College Seal: An indigo band is inscribed with gold letters reading: The Baptist College at Charleston and the year, 1964. Within the circle are Greek words, which interpreted read: GO YE THEREFORE AND MAKE DISCI- PLES OF ALL NATIONS. Small letters give the Biblical reference Matthew 28:19. Inside the circle are The Book, symbolizing truth; The Lamp, symboliz- ing the light of learning; and The Cross, symbol of the sacrifice which made all wisdom possible. College Colors: Indigo blue was chosen because indigo was a primary indus- try in the earliest days of the history of the land on which the college is built. The deep, rich gold color is called Pirates ' Gold, and was chosen to carry out the Buccaneer theme . . . (the gentleman pirate being the college ' s athletic name and symbol). 1 4 Silver ilver Anniversary
