The most obvious ofcourse is the outward physical changes, Hermann Hall, an imposing brick struc- ture set at end of a new sweeping drive. Here the campus pulse may be felt, the in and out of stu- dents, at registration, orientation classes, confer- ences, pay checks and bills and work. The new roads, parking lots and driving regulations changed the trafic situation and shortened the distance between campuses. The discovery of the Art treasures, the plans for the new class rooms and men 's dormitory, these are some of the present changes and changes in progress. Much as we admire the physical symbols o f growth on our beloved college grounds, a cultural revolution must also grow, with a student body that will initiate it. , , IPHASIS w1.r.4f.,,,N nw 0 KH W Thy5eH

The Rqllectzons o cz Changing Face Berry is no longer a small school,' she has grown too much to be in that category. Be- cause of this stretching process the school has put aside old customs and adopted new. These old customs and new customs make up the emotionalface ofthe school. As a face is tempered by what is felt behind it, so it is with a college, she presents a mask to reflect what she is like and feels underneath.

Be it private college or state university, the one- way road for an institution is toward progress. Every Fall sees a change over in classes,' an old group has gone out and a new one replaces it with ever-increasing numbers. The growing music department was moved into the former administration building, thereby in- creasing classroom space. The drama department gained a new instructor who made a smashing success of the Fall Produc- tion before a crowd of students and Rome citizens. A few of the upperclassmen can remember a cer- tain retired English professor who gave a special name to our beautdul red maple trees. The Halle- lujah trees were being forgotten as such, but an issue of the .Campus Carrier brought them back to mind this Fall. Why is a college? For the education of the stu- dents, for the mental, physical, and spiritual growth of these students, that is the reason for a college. Berry College was originally founded in this spirit and because of the many revisions the spirit re- mains the same. A group of signs hung in Blackstone dining hall 'show some of the old and some of the new. The traditional is Religious Emphasis Week, and the current vogue the hootenanny. The private college ofers close association be- tween professor and student. Dr. O'Neal is a familiar face in Valhalla as are many other teach- ers, always ready to share their leisure as well as classroom time.
