14 Unlike many other private colleges and universities in 1979, Furman is not lacking in financial support. Sizeable increases in contributions which Furman receives each year through grants, endowment funds, the South Carolina Baptist Convention, the Alumni Association, and the Paladin Club put Furman in the bracket of the more financially sound universities in the country. During the 1970’s, this relatively new campus expanded its library facilities with a new wing, built the Homozel Mickel Daniel Music Building, and the Lay Physical Activities Center.

The Admissions Office, although pleased with the growing national recognition which Furman is gaining, will use the increase in applications to seek a better quality of student, not merely more students. SUCCESS IN' SPORTS programs is helping attract regional and national attention to Furman. Senior defensive back Russell Gambrell calls out signals before the IdckofT. A HIGH QUALITY FACULTY continues to be one of Furman's greatest assets. Eighty-seven per cent of the faculty now hold doctorates.
