But in the midst of innovations there are, at Eastern, constant factors which make the college what it is. Perhaps the spirit of the college can be summa- rized in the statement that it seeks to provide an atmoSphere in which students may grow. Abun- dant opportunities are presented for intellectual, spiritual, social and physical growth. Alone, with a group of students, or in his contacts with faculty members, every Easterner is challenged to go forward. The two faces of the science building: below. Making each challenge Vital and meaningful for the student and the world is the constant em- phasis which the college places on the person of Christ and the purposes of God. This person and these purposes are the things which every student hopes others may see in all their views of Eastern. Two manifestations of school spirit: iiFrostyi, leads stu- dents in cheering at the exciting varsity upset of Ursinus, and an enthusiastic student rings a substitute victory hell on campus. 5

VIEWS OF EASTERN At Eastern Baptist College, the 1960-1961 school year was a time of change. Progress and im- provement have been evident on the campus every year, but this year was one of unusual activity. Returning students noticed a new look for the science building due to the addition of a modern biology laboratory. During the year, an aca- demic step forward was taken as the college was accepted as a member of the College Entrance Examination Board. Changes in administration were perhaps the most significant ones for the future of the college. Students and faculty expressed grati- tude for the long years of service given by Dr. Gilbert L. Guffin and Dr. George S. Claghorn as they resigned their respective positions as President and Dean. The Board of Trustees has chosen Dr. Thomas McDormand to succeed Dr. Guffin. Dr. Ernest L. Ackley will serve as Dean for an interim term of one year, after which a permanent Dean will be named. Further building changes were seen as students prepared to leave campus in May. An addition to the dining hall was begun at that time. This work will provide much needed extra space in the dining area and the library. Truly, the past year has been one in which much has been ac- complished. $fx0n 1w--.A . mg; '7 .2253 ma k3 -
