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.

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

Highland College formally opened September 1, 1891. When chartered by the State of North Carolina four months later, its name changed to Lenoir College in honor of Cap- tain Walter Lenoir who donated the land. In 1923 the col- lege again changed its name to honor Daniel Efird Rhyne, who boosted the endo wment and other assets of the institu- tion with his frequent gifts. In recognizing his support the college name assumed its present form: Lenoir-Rhyne Col- lege. Throughout its history Lenoir-Rhyne has been closely associated with the church, although it was 1895 before a formal relationship between the two was established. Lenoir-Rhyne College is presently owned and operated by the North Carolina Synod of the Lutheran Church in Ameri- ca to provide for students a liberal culture embodying Christian principles. i!EraK!rRtiKromrri!!ifraf53Bw;!W
