1 JF ■ 3S r ' sjpst I came to High Point College last fall with a strong feeling that this was a very fine center of learning, and that the College ' s best days were still ahead of it, not behind it. I believe this today more than I did when l came. High Point College is strong today because of some special factors in its mak eup. One is friendliness, another is dedication to teaching, another is fierce determination to underscore freedom of thought and expression. Still another is the emphasis on matters of a spiritual nature; the student minds of enquiry do not go unanswered. I respect this fine heritage and with you hope to build on it. High Point College is special. We have seen developed between students, faculty, and staff a renewed sense of optimism, coherence and collegiality. This, after all, is probably the most precious commodity an educational center has, because this is the only way we can ensure quality. Making a college a community polls ough to be the goal of every college. High Point College is a superb center of learning. You have helped make it so. As a freshman president, I thank you for a grand year. Jacob C. Martinson, President 8 Prologue
