The Chance to Question . . . The Desire to Excel . . . In Shap- ing our Attitudes and Values the Faculty Helped Us Lay the Groundwork for our New Way of Life. The character and reputation of a college, its standing in the educational world, the measure of its influence on those who live and study on its campus are determined in large measure by the dedication and devotion of its facultyr For us, as for many generations of Lees-McRae. students, this spirit and quality of dedication and devotion are most fully expressed in our administration, staff, and faculty of 1964- 65. Added to the physical growth of the campus is the intellec- tual growth of each individual. New ideas are received, some conflicting with old standards, some upholding previous know- ledge. No longer is our mental world bound by the small area of our home environment, but we encounter new ideas to stim- ulate new growth and expansion. Our academic world is in- volved in a new era of maturation through contact with intel- lectual stimulus. Lees-McRae provides sound academic curricula within the plan of a junior college for the purpose of developing Christ- ian leadership. Acollege education should involve four ele- ments -- development of moral integrity, a liberal education to give a richer life, broader understanding, and to bring cit- izenship into proper perspective, acquisition of technical knowledge for professional leadership, development of phy- sical fitness. Lees-McRae tries to provide all four, with interest in students as individuals -- not merely so many minds to educate. i gl . X ' , f ' CLASSES . . . 21
