' ■ADMINISTRATION-AUDITORIUM BUILDING THE CAMPUS... This year marks a special year for Harding College. In terms of years — it is the thirtieth year this institution has existed under that name, since the merger of Arkansas Christian College and Harper College at Morrilton, Arkansas, in 1924, and it is also the twentieth year for it to be located on the present site, having moved to Searcy in 1934. Since that time succeeding classes have seen the campus take on a completely new appearance. Perhaps more than any other, the new Administration Building with its modern, attractive auditoriums, offices, and classrooms is symbolic of the changes we, the class of ' 54, have seen on the Harding campus. When we arrived as Freshmen, Godden Hall, despite the fact that it appeared ready to collapse, was the center of campus activi- ties. Here we went to chapel, which was divided into two sections because seating was inadequate; we waited eagerly for the mail here; and here many of us received our introduction to dormitory life. When we returned for our sophomore year, all that remained of Godden was a huge pile of dirt; this year we walked to the College church each day for chapel; we went to plays in the Academy ' s audi- torium — and we looked forward to the day when the new Ad Building would be completed. By the time our Junior year began, the new campus was complete except for the American Studies Building, the Bell Tower, and a few relatively minor details such as sidewalks. Today the Bell Tower, erected with material from ' Godden Hall and containing the bell once housed in Godden, exists as a memorial of the campus of the past. . . . But serving as a stronger link with the past is the spirit of Harding which has not changed . ' BELL TOWER 10
