FAIR CATAWBA The Alma Mater Down in the verdant Southland High on the Piedmont plains, There ' s a tower that is piercing the heavens And a campus of fond memory lanes. Higher than the walls of man ' s making Are the thoughts of my sojourn there; Brighter than the sun upon waking Are the friendships time cannot outwear. Fair Catawba, My Catawba Symbol of life and right; We, thy sons and daughters Hail Thee, Queen of light! Rich and glorious be thy future, World of influence wide. And with us, who bear thy culture, May thy precepts and spirit abide. fyaisi Catawba . . . 2 anMt ut

eral years, Catawba was moved to a campus south of the town. During the ensuing years, the College continued to grow. There were periods when the probability of Catawba ' s becoming a seminary was discussed. Because of a decision to move the College, the school was closed temporarily at the end of the academic year 1922-23. It reopened in the fall of 1925 at its new location in Salisbury. Only the main building was then in existence, but the plant has steadily been enlarged until it now consists of one hundred ninety acres of land and nineteen buildings, with the promise of more in the future. The College is governed by a Board of Trustees consisting of twenty-four mem- bers elected in the following manner: eight by the General Synod, eight by the Southern Synod of the Evangelical and Reformed Church, and eight by the afore- mentioned sixteen. Thus the close relationship of the School and the Church has been continued through the years. With a century of successful history, Catawba College now looks forward to a hopeful future.
