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. Though the master plan is not complete, the campus now resembles the finished layout envisioned by the University’s original architects. IF YOU NEVER STOPPED TO ENJOY THE FALL for even a single moment, you missed one of the prettiest aspects of Furman. In the past ten years, straggling seedlings have grown into beautiful trees. From picnics to squirrels to sunsets to strolls, the campus offered an wide selection of autumn activities. The year’s lack of the usual October and November rains (even Homecoming was dry) enhanced the season and helped make the term one of the brightest in years.
