The Davidson Renaissance To paraphrase a line often recited by Professor Randy Nelson, a liberal arts education should teach one how to think, not what to think. Davidson clings to this ideal, and although she cannot claim complete success in practice, she can be proud of her renown as an outstanding liberal arts college in an age that strongly encourages technological specialization. At Davidson the greatest challenge is reckoning practical skills with a liberal arts education. Although various avenues exist through which students may gain valuable skills outside of the classroom, academics remain the major focus of life on campus. Tradition dies hard at Davidson. The past two decades, however, have been years of great change. A large part of the credit must go to College President Samuel Spencer, who resigned effective July 1, 1983. His resignation marks the end of an era at Davidson — named THE DAVIDSON RENAISSANCE by Quips and Cranks. Spencer became president in 1967, and since that time Davidson ' s vision of the world around her and role she should assume has been defined in broader terms than ever before. During these years the enrollment of minority students increased greatly, women were admitted as regular students, the international studies program was revitalized, computers became an integral part of the curriculum, and the physical plant underwent drastic changes. Ac- complishments such as these head a list of other important changes that Spencer has guided. As president, Spencer has seen David- son ' s national reputation grow alongside her endowment. continued on page 5 ON TOP OF THE WORLD.
