Dr. Philip Lovin Elliott President and English B.A., Wake Forest College; M.A., Uni- versity of North Carolina; Ed. D. Carson- Newman; Additional graduate study, Johns Hopkins University, Duke University; Gardner-Webb College, 1943- To Our Students: What is a college? It is a place to which our parents send us; or it is a place to which we go to get ready to make a better living easier. It may be a place to which we go that because of comfortable surround- ings and interesting companions we may have a pleasant place to loaf. College may be a place to which boys and girls go because of a sense of mission. To those it is a community ' of kindred spirits who, smitten with a love of truth, seek the answers to the basic questions of the human heart. To those also the real college is a thing of the mind and spirit. It is an atti- tude. Perhaps better it is an atmosphere which creates a certain attitude: A certain gayety of spirit in contempt of fortune. This annual, The Anchor, will have significance to you according to what it reminds you of. It will remind you of the college you found here. It will also remind you of the hunger, the dreams, and the desires created here. I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel ' s kick and the wind ' s song and the white sail ' s shaking And a grey mist on the sea ' s face and a grey dawn breaking ■ ' ■
