In Itaoriam DR. JEROME C. SMITH OLD VOYAGER by WALTER BLACKSTOCK (Associate professor of English, High Point College) His landlocked dreams were rainbow-tides that ran: Of clippers cutting ebony and spume Through silver shatterings, a caravan Of fractured waves, Always he saw the bloom Of hyacinth-weather turning ships to sea. He saw Orion and Arcturus bum For mariners who steered toward Napoli; He watched their transports leave, and then return. He lived for one last voyaging — but one — When he would sail beyond the Pleiades — Past Sirius — to find eternities Of Hope bright-garlanded around the sun. He dreamed of calm, of everlasting blue: The port was known — the reckoning was true.

The college administration sets forth the goals and ob- jectives of High Point College and serves to co-ordinate all phases of college life. The Christian liberal arts college is faced with the responsi- bility of supplying the morality that is needed to harness and use, for the good, the technology of the modern world. The administration is striving to accept this challange by replacing words with concrete action and positive programs showing results. The ultimate goal is not only to make High Point College a Christian College for Discriminating Students, but to make High Point College a strong contributor of the necessary leader- ship for creating a better world.
