High Point University - Zenith Yearbook (High Point, NC)

Page 15 text:

As a student moves through the four years of his college life, some change almost inevitably occurs in his attitudes toward religion and life. His religious faith is usually either strengthened or weakened by virtue of his separation from home influence. Church attendance becomes a matter of personal choice, and decisions of right and wrong in outward conduct are made through inward searching. Old concepts are challenged by an association with new acquaintances with new ideas about life, requiring a re-examination of self and society on the part of each student. Affiliated with the Methodist Church, High Point College encourages student participation in religious activities through various religious and service organizations and the annual Reli- gion-In-Life Week. In addition to the sparsely attended nightly devotions in Lindley Chapel, students are provided with transportation to and from Sunday morning worship services by several local churches. Involvement in religious activities on campus range from a complete aloofness on the part of some to a complete seriousness on the part of others. « r- 1 1

We Dedicate the 1 968 Zenith to . . As the student steps forward through his academic career, a few people make lasting impressions on him and his life. In 1961, High Point College added one such person to its faculty. Her continuing influence on a significant part of the student body has earned her the label teacher in the truest sense of the term. No student who has ever sat in one of her classes can doubt her thorough preparation and presentation of study materials in literature, and no one who has ever taken one of her tests can forget the pain of writer ' s cramp. In some unaccountable way. however, her courses always seem to be spiced with anecdotes about William Faulkner — even in a course about Chaucer: An influenzal professor ' s efforts for her students should not go unnoted. Therefore, because of the deep impressions made by her prolific knowledge of literature, her contagious enthusiasm in the classroom, and her sincere interest in the welfare of each student, it is with pleasure and gratitude that we dedicate this yearbook to Mrs. Emily B. Sullivan. Assistant Professor of English. 12
