During the baseball season in the spring of 1924 a sports writer, reporting a game against Wake Forest described the Lenoir-Rhyne team as turning in their tracks and growling like the bears that are said to infest their native highlands. The Lenoir-Rhyne sports writers, particularly Frank Cauble, began using the name immediately. It is found in the Lenoir Rhynean, the Hacawa, and the Hickory Daily Record fre- quently with reference to the football team in the fall of 1 924. Due to popular acceptance, the Mountain Bears came into common usage spontaneously without any official action. From then on the bear has been our mascot, and the Moun- tain Bears the sports designation for our college, players, and supporters. •S2!riffiL(:iL«;tlta;iiitKniSSrini!ffigSS ffilBSlJSSIt nnMnawKMHimymwiuiuiiiiiiBim

The Cromer College Center, built in 1961, was named in honor of Dr. Voigt R. Cromer, the sixth president of the col- lege (1949-1967). The center has become the focal point of campus activities for all of the Lenoir-Rhyne community. This living room of the campus is located on the site of the former dining hall, constructed in 1928. Part of this original framework has been incorporated as the main lounge of our present structure.

The original main entrance of Lenoir College was at the corner where the Lenoir-Rhyne sign presently stands. This driveway separated into an oval which passed the front of Old Main, Yoder, and Oakview dormitory. After the fire of 1927 destroyed Old Main, the entrance was moved to its present location and the quadrangle became the principal driveway. The Rhyne building and Mauney dormitory were the first buildings errected facing the quadrangle.
