Foreword What is a college? Primarily, a college is a society of scholars incorporated for study or instruction, especially in the higher branches of knowledge. But college is more than this. For us it is our way of life. Forrest Kirkpatrick captures the true spirit of a college in these words: A college goes on forever — Not in microscopes or maps. Not on playing fields or in seminars, Or even in the hush of tall elms and fragrant dogwood .... But in the still reaches of the hearts That have loved it, and afterwards understood it And now bear its mark and ideals forever .... The 1956 Conestogan attempts to record the college year as a memory for the still reaches of the hearts that have loved it . . . and now bear its mark and ideals forever.

Man of Vision The dedication of the 1956 CONESTOGAN is a small token indeed when the vision and service of the man to whom it is dedicated is con- sidered. For over forty years he has been building into a growing institution his vision of a greater Elizabethtown College. In the classroom, in the laboratory, in the office of the dean and now as president. Dr. Baugher has challenged students, demonstrated the scientific method, guided young men and women in their academic and personal choices, and within the first decade of his presidency achieved for the college full accred- itation by the Middle States Association. The measure of his dedication to the purposes of the church-related liberal arts college is reflected in his continuing vision of expansion to meet the demands of increasing numbers of college students. Right: Dr. and Mrs. A. C. Baugher graciously pose for the Conestogan photographer. Below: Dr. Baugher discusses plans for future Senate-sponsored student assemblies with William Bechtel as Mrs. Doris Lewis, secretary to the President, takes notes on the conversation.
