The College of Emporia, animpressive institution today, is the product of years of change and growth. Hard to believe as it is, C of E had its beginning with three professors and seventeen students in a rented downtown building in 1882. In 1886, the school was moved into old Stewart Hall. The building occupied the site where Kenyon Hall now stands until it burned down in 1917. The destruction of Stewart Hall might have ended the school but amid the ruins the next morning was seen the sign, C of E fights, from where the saying Fighting Presbies , comes. Ronald W. Ebberts has been a part of the College of Emporia community for a number of years now, participating not only as amember of the student body, but also as an integral part of the faculty and admin- istration. He graduated from C of E in May of 1956 with a major in business and minors in physical edu- cation, education and biology. His involvement with the college has included coaching football, teaching in the business department and serving as admissions coun- selor, Dean of Students, Director of Personnel, Co- ordinator of Government Affairs, and Business Man- ager. However, the impressive list does not end there, Mr. Ebberts has gone on to be come the thirteenth President of C of E. As President, he feels that it' is his duty to be co- ordinator of the institutional life and growth of C of E. In order to do that, he must deal with a number of publics: the faculty, the students, the community, the board of trustees, and the alumni. At the same time, he feels it is importantto keep up with the ever chang- ing philosophies with regard to education, having as the paramount concern the changing role of the educa- tional institution to meet student needs.
