The Growth Of A College (Continued) changes which helped Lambuth Col- lege to expand and to gain a wider scope of education and to gain more students. The B.A. was the only de- gree offered at the time, but soon to be added was the B.S. The addition of this degree itself caused an expansion in the entire educational program, in- cluding the business department. One of the most important programs he initiated was the summer session. After advanced graduate study, Dr. James S. Wilder, Jr. assumed the pas- torates of churches in Gatlinburg, Chattanooga, and Knoxville, Tennes- see, declining offers for teaching posi- tions at Duke University and at St. Paul ' s School of Theology. However, in 1962 when a call came from the Lambuth College Board of Trustees, he accepted the offe r to enter the field of education. Campus Scenes — ABOVE — AOPi has a pledge swap with Kappa Sigma. CLOCK- WISE — Kaleidoscope performs in the Colonial Room; Students practice for intra- murals; the Christmas Candelight service held in the chapel; and Lambuth in Au- tumn.

Upon his arrival at the Lambuth campus, President Wilder set out to expand the physical plant and aca- demic foundation of the college. For the physical plant, Dr. Wilder is re- sponsible for the construction of West Hall, the Hyde Science Building, the College Union, and the Athletic Cen- ter. Whereas, for the academic foun- dation, he increased faculty and sup- porting staff size, enlarged the re- sources of the Luther L. Gobbel Li- brary, and added a number of new courses and majors to the school ' s curriculum. Also, under his auspices, the new Lambuth Theatre, the Learn- ing Enrichment Center, and the Inte- rior Design house were established. Enhancing the quality of higher education and instituting relevant academic programs at the private church-related school have been the two major themes of President Wilder ' s tenure as chief executive. We have taken the lead in introduc- ing career-oriented programs in a lib- eral arts environment, he said with a hint of pride. We are public in as much as we serve public needs, he added in reference to such programs as computer science and interior de- sign, all co-existing with such tradi- tional disciplines as English, psychol- ogy, history, and religion. As far as Lambuth ' s future is con- cerned, President Wilder said, We are either going forward or back- wards; you can ' t stand still. He is • optimistic about the institution, de- i spite the current squeeze on small lib- teral arts colleges. God will provide a way, he assured.
