In 1926, under the leadership of David D. Jones, a residential col- lege for women was created from the historic fabric of a co- educational institution founded in 1873. At a very early period in its history, the College achieved the A rating from the South- ern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Annually about 550 young women are attracted to Bennett College because of its vibrant and creative approach to women ' s education. The College plant is repeatedly referred to as a campus of singular quality. Through the benevolence of Foundations and friends of the College, the physical plant has grown from four buildings in 1926, to thirty- four at the present time. The entire campus lends itself to the perpetuation of an atmosphere of cul- ture and refinement which is our heritage. acuiia an ■- ' is ' ttejr Jonn Ji. J ace noministration Jjuiloing The educational program of Bennett College represents a structured whole. Three prin- cipal areas of campus life, namely the curricular or instructional, co-curricular, and residential, are brought to focus in a single effort to unify the educational experience of the student. The theory behind this attempt is that unity in organization when experienced by the student leads to a fuller understanding of the necessity to strive for completeness in personal growth and de- velopment. On the Bennett campus, it is felt that the need for pointing up relationships in many areas of learning is less demanding when the student is automatically situated in this type of academic setting. There is a deliberate attempt to provide varied learning experiences in each of the three central areas, so that every student in planning her program may be selective without running the risk of discovering serious gaps in her education along the way. A young woman may be helped to develop social responsibility through participation in a field studies project growing out of class instruction, by acting as co-chairman with an instructor in planning a college and community wide activity, or by serving as student assistant in a residence hall. Any one of these activities is designed to aid in the development of greater sensitivity to social situations as well as in creating a healthy attitude toward the responsibilities of citizenship in a democracy. With this educational design the college is better able to take specific account of the total well-being of the individual student. A young woman entering Bennett College finds this plan of education different and exciting. A part of the Freshman Orientation program serves as as introduction to the College. It generally takes the form of an explanation of the philosophy of the college, its general character and de- sign. Later on the faculty advisor helps the student to a larger and more complete understand- ing of the Bennett plan as it reveals itself in the development of the individual student ' s schedule. For, unlike many college schedules, it will contain more than the names of courses and semester hours credit to be earned. These are taken into account first, because the remainder of the schedule will be built around this core. All parts of the program are significantly interwoven. The choice of subjects is definitely related to the student ' s responsibility as a member of the Bennett family. The intention is essentially to have the student ' s plan of work represent an or- ganic whole to which she in turn strives to dedicate her total self. Dr. Willa L j. J J fauer . . .

The in- structional program is based on the conviction that each course must make a substantial con- tribution to the present and future needs of the student. The approach is clearly functional. It allows for progressive modification of content and method in order to meet the demands of every- day living. The College is continuously engaged in self-study and in the examination of current trends in women ' s education. It attempts thereby to develop a curriculum of real significance. As a re- sult of such study,important changes are highlighted particularity in the areas of earning a living, mental and physical health, religion and philosophy of life, communications, home and family life, and community leadership. The courses are planned in an effort to relate the subject matter to life outside the classroom. Bennett students learn by doing .

Seven residence halls house approximately four-fifths of the Bennett students. The remaining fifth come from Greensboro and reside at home except for the year in which the non-resident student decides to live on the campus. The policy of the College to require this procedure assures each student of a measure of contact with young ladies from a large geo- graphical area and of varying backgrounds and experience. The student is thereby enabled to de- velop, which indicate consideration for others and have carry-over value for her in life after college. Several traditions have grown up in the residence halls which enhance the family feeling at the College. There is a Sister Song that expresses the support which each young lady offers the other in her quest to find happiness and to meet the anxieties and sorrows of mature living. Each fresh- man has a sister from the junior class who helps to cement her relationships with the Bennett Family. Cjone Jia I y, • .. .. ' f • V m ft ' ■ ' 7 V.

Student ' (Ani nion 1 ri t ' £J T - u aSr i w n i .?, ' ?n The Student Union Building is the combined recreational, social and dining center on the campus. The building and its services give expression to the realization that the art of gracious living is an integral part of the student ' s education. Here in a wholesome, informal atmosphere, faculty, alumni, and students may plan and participate in group discussions, parties, musicals, banquets, receptions, and an infinite variety of recreational social activities. The Student Union, named in honor of David D. Jones, provides headquarters for the student Senate and the campus organizations as well as meeting rooms for the Trustees and the North Carolina Conference. Here the faculty, students and alumni find comfortable and adequate provisions for carrying on committee work and small conferences. The students plan an important role in the direction of Union activities to be enjoyed by students in their leisure time. A Board of Managers composed largely of students meet regular to consider problems of building use and programing. A system of committees provides a large opportunity to students to partici- pate in the activity program and to plan for the social, cultural and recreational enjoyment of the Bennett students. J a raamzations y Bennett College believes that it should provide ample opportunity for each student to express herself and that this expression should be encouraged in every area. The co- cur ricular program offers an infinite variety of possibilities for choice, It administers to the spiritual life of the students through the religious activities, first among which are the Sunday Vespers in Annie Merner Pfeiffer Chapel. Throughout the school year, out- standing leaders bring messages of inspiration and courage. The Bennett student may explore her creative ability in many areas such as the Little Theater Guild, the College Choirs, The Bennett Banner - the student publication - and various clubs and interest groups.

As a unit their ideas were the same and they sought to fulfill these ideas-- not what the college can do for us, but what we can do for the college. Many plans and proposals came to the floor of the class meetings, some accepted and acted upon, others thrown out, but one long-range plan would not die — to publish a yearbook. At the beginning of the Sophomore year, in the life of the Class of ' 63, the wheels of investigation turned swiftly. After much inquiry, it was learned that the only hindrance to the publication of the yearbook was the lack of a group willing to put forth the time and energy necessary for such a publication. The challenge had been given by the administration, and the Class of ' 63 rose to meet that challenge. For the effort and interest shown by this class, we, the yearbook staff, take great pleasure in dedicating this edition of the yearbook to the present Senior Class - the Class of ' 63.

ALMA MATER Bennett, now our voices raise, Harmonies of grateful praise; We, thy daughters find thee fair, Loyally thy colors bear, Truth and honor in thy halls, Faith and love within thy walls; Ever dear to us thou art, Firm within each loyal heart! CHORUS Alma Mater, now we sing, Hail the light that thou doest bring; True we ' ve been throughout the past; True to thee while life shall last. May we never smirch the good Gendered here in sisterhood May we ever choose aright Guided but by honor bright; Ever lovelier shalt thou live, As thy daughters freely give: Ever glorious above, Testimonies of our love. ' Til the evening shadows fall, ' Til we heed our last clear call, Mother, may we offer thee Lives of worth and purity? Go with us throughout the years, Smile on us in doubts and fears; Bless us with thy tender care, Mother — fairest of the fair! c5. enior KJiass G a Senior Class Officers ■■ ■11 }t ' R: Elizabeth Napper, Chaplain; Gloria Barnes, Secretary; Bonita Quiett, Vice-President; Evalina Williams, President.
