UNCHANGED TRADITIONALLY YET TRADI- TIONALLY CHANGING— Centenary paved the way to the beginning of its 158th aca- demic year with two badly needed black- topped parking lots— one behind Hardin Dorm and one by Bynum Commons — complete with new lighting and landscaping. Landscaping played a major role elsewhere on campus. Specifically, around the Meadows Museum, the Hurley Music Building and Magale Library, where greenery was severely da- maged during the winter freeze of 1982. More- over, a new rose garden near Hamilton Hall provides the Centenary family with a more beautiful and functional area in which to walk, talk or study. And last, but not least, tennis enthusiasts have six new lighted courts for tournament or recreational play. The $150,000 complex with yet another new parking lot was built just east of the Gold Dome. The courts are named for: Arch Holder, captain of the 1929 undefeated tennis team at Centenary; the late Mr. John B. Akins, Jr.; Mr. and Mrs. William Barrett; Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Sawyer; Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Sawyer; and Marvin Street, Chris Brown, Stewart Bunn and Jimmy Livesay, who played doubles tennis continuously for 90 hours to benefit the com- plex.

ESTABLISHED IN 1825 as the College of Lou- isiana, in Jackson, the school merged in 1848 with Centenary College, which had been founded six years earlier by The Methodist Church in Clinton, Mississippi. In 1908, accept- ing a generous offer of land and support from the Atkins family and a group of friends, the College moved to Shreveport. As it is the ol- dest private college west of the Mississippi Riv- er, Centenary ' s roots are deep. Centenary seeks to provide its students with a basic understanding of human affairs and problems; to motivate them to think clearly, honestly, and constructively and to communi- cate effectively; and to introduce them to the arts and sciences, that they may enjoy the best of the heritage of civilization.
