Offering educational opportunity in a Christian environment, its faculty strives to give meaning to its belief that Christian ideals and a trained intelligence are essentials for abundant living. The de- termination of Lees- McRae is that students shall leave this Campus in the Clouds with minds agile enough to use and with character strong enough to hold.
