ROBERT HENRY STAMEY President of Brevard College A. B. and B. D. Duke University Brevard College is dedicated to the cause of Christian higher education. Within the context of this noble purpose every facet of its life and program finds expression. Students who profit from this high adven- ture, mentally, morally and physically, will be trained and conditioned to play the game of life to a success- ful and happy conclusion. When one learns to stick to a task until it is finished, to be self-reliant, to stand on his own feet, to have singleness of purpose, to play the game on and off the field, to use his talents to the fullest, he has acquired sufficient habits and attitudes to insure a measure of success. When you go out from the halls of your cherished Alma Mater, go seeking after opportunity for all your worth. Do not wait hopefully for it to come knocking at your door. You must do your own door knocking. Do not go out seeking security. Security can be achieved only by seizing an opportunity and doing such a swell job that you make yourself indispensable to those who employ you. May your aspirations be crowned by high adventure. Robert H. Stamey President

Languages The English requirement of Brevard College- four semesters-is high as compared with most colleges, for it is felt that English is a basic necessity not only in relation to other courses but to culture and life in general. The aim of instruction in English is two-fold: to provide stu- dents with the skills for effective oral and written communication, and to acquaint them, by way of literature, with the best that has been thought and said. The formal study of French and Spanish give a grasp and understanding of English grammar difficult to attain in any other way. It proves the truth of the old saying that He knows but little English who only English knows. The advanced literature in foreign languages afford vital frag- ments of the country ' s history, geography, cus- toms, thinking, ambitions, and philosophy of life.

B, and candi- date M A University of South Carolina History The old adage A word to the wise is sufficient is indeed applicable when one considers history and its importance. Although the word of history is used a great deal in the formulation of future plans it is by no means used in a fatalistic sense. Rather, the advice of his- tory attempts to purge our creativeness from unneces- sary blunders. wmm
