Why does a college begin? Why and how does a college grow? In its stages of growth, what is the institution to itself and to its students? . . . What is Birmingham-Southern College? The above questions could strike you as a trite series of essay-prompters or as prodders to serious thought. They can be, too, the reasons for a year- book. After orientation, any freshman could tell you that Birmingham-Southern was begun with the genesis of Alabama education — Southern University, founded in 1856. The merging of Southern University and Birmingham College in 1918 occurred in a nationally turbulent period; the new college felt strongly and obviously its tenacious roots. The years between that frail beginning then and your particular now tend to haze into vague history. But that history has a cycle of vigorous innovations, secret doubts, admin- istrative bogging-down, impatient reactions ... all the emotions and pressures that are not the atmosphere but the sustenance of a college.
