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.

Fair star of Caroline our alma mater Our college best of all in this broad land Thou best beloved of every son and every daughter Thy children hail thy name on every hand. Fling wide the red and black O sing aloud her praises This is the song we sing Lenoir-Rhyne to thee. The alma mater was written by John Conrad Seegers, Jr., who was a librarian and member of the English department of Lenoir College. He was part of the campus life from 1916 to 1921. It was in 1923 when Seegers wrote the lyrics in use today and at that time the name of the college was changed to Lenoir-Rhyne. The original melody of the alma mater was believed to be a copy of a tune written by W. H. Little. The score we now use, was composed by Fredrick Stanley Smith, who was head of music department from 1928 to 1932.

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
