Her history is written in the hearts of alumni whose lives cover a period of more than 120 years. And the scope of her influence extends far into the Southland. JUST AS MERCER I MVERSITY is the center of the state of Georgia, so she. is a center of learning for all who desire to know the real meaning of life, Her students live in a friendly atmosphere among a relatively small number of students . . . sit at the feet of scholarh but down-to-earth professors with wise hearts as well as minds . . . and study within the halls of century-old structures covered with ivy. SJ. CE HER FOUNDING in the village of Pen field in 1833, Mercer has continued to produce outstanding ministers, statesmen, teachers, anil citizens. On f ounders' Day in 1955. Mercer University students enacted a year-by-year history of their school in pageant form. Now as once more a class of students leaves the beloved campus—they themselves have added to the Mercer annals another chapter in this ever-enfolding pageantry . . . I Their Vlury” will include Pages full of memories Of earnest thought and study aided by a helpful teacher . . . Of sincere worship in the chapel of our Baptist university . . . And finally memories of graduation . . . These an muti muli lions include MAY DAY IjjsI year's observance, for exam pie. was one of the highlights of spring quarter.

In the Ad Building are the offices of President George II- Connell, tlie business manager, I lie registrar, and the deans —besides numerous classrooms. Here all the real business of Mercer life is conducted. On the other hand, campus social life centers in the Co-op. A favorite place for snacks ami conversation during spare moments, the Co-op also contains the Baptist Student Union offices, the guidance center, the extension department, pub- lication offices, a recreation room, and the ever-popular University post office. PENKIF,1.1) HALL OR THE CO-OP HARDMAN LIBRARY A COL PI .E OF CO-EDS wander along the familiar walk from Mary Erin Porter ll.dl lo Hardman Library. The lovely stone building—recently en- larged- -houses more than 100.000 volumes. The library’s special reading room amt museum are storehouses of document rich in Mercer history. THE SCIENCE BI IED1NGS THE JOSEPH E. WII.I.ETT SCIENCE BLTLDINC Mercer's two science building� are (lie Joseph E. Wil- lett Science Building (lefl) anti tin Wiggs Science Hall (below). Most students, however, know them sim- ply as the Biology Building and the Chemistry Build- ing.

WIGCS SCIENCE HALE THE WALTER F, GEORGE SCHOOL OF LAW MERCER STUDENTS are proud of the School of Law—one of ihe best of its kind in the United Stales. At left, a typical promising young lawyer, Gene Heinrich, stands in the school’s well equipped library. In front of ihe building is a favorite gathering place beneath the trees to dis cuss politics, the latest court cases, or a particu- larly difficult professor. In the library upstairs the lights hum late each night. And there one can find manv of the future leaders of our stale and nation. All this is Mercer, today and yesterday A cordial President and First Lady, Dr. and Mrs. George B. Council, greeting guests in their home . . . ■bid a look toward the future... Pictured above is a model of tin new student activities building to be constructed on the Mercer campus. The building will house the University post office and bookstore, offices of student publications, a modern cafeteria for men and women, and a recreation room. During the past year at Mercer, many students aided in the campaign to raise necessary funds for the con- struction of the building. O H HPiO H O H O A true personification of the spirit of Mercer University ts the professor chosen to he esjje- eially honored in this year’s CAULDRON. He is a true scholar and a noble gentleman. He lias } eeii a loyal guide to students entering religious vocations as well as a competent advisor to the Mercer Honor Council More than that, however, he has endeared himself to the hearts of all those who have come to know him. For all these reasons, die Class of 1956 lovingly dedicates this, the 1956 CAULDRON, to a man foremost in “the Mercer family” .. . DR. II. LEWIS BATTS DR. 11.

An education which prepares you only to pei loi incompetently in a special professional, or voca- tional field will lie inadequate in a free society of tomorrow. The impact of the new three H‘s most he guided by the lessons from tlieip’-iild trilogy: religion, reason, and reflec- tion, basic in a sound program of a Christian college.

This year your editor lias initiated quite a few changes in the style and content of your year- book many of which we feel sure you will like and many which you may not. T on will notice the increase in informal, action-type pictures, the in- crease in written material telling what we hope is good and meaningful about our University, a good many more technical changes — and, of course, our pride, the Color Page! This year- book is directed most of all to you, the students and we sincerely hope that it will be a treas- ury of memories for many years to come.

Introducing the Mercer Choir If you’re a choir member, you have a busy schedule all year long. In ihc fall there’s “Messiah” practice; in the winter. The Elijah” perhaps—or some other program; in the spring, the big musical production to climax it all. Last year’s spring production was “Musi cal Comedy Capers,” pictured at left. Besides the big events, there are numerous choir trips out of town and lots of little duties to perform while the concert series are in progress. Performers in the Summer Concert Series were Birkhead and Dunn, the Reisman Trio, and Joseph Maerz. Entertainers during the fall and winter were the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra and Nelson and Neal, an Australian-American two-piano team. cP Cnl'?

Rich, director and accompanist, are among the most popular professors. Besides leading the choir in its activities, the faculty couple teach private piano and voice lessons, teach music cla sses, a nd help with school programs. The Chapel Choir makes frequent out-of-town trips for request performances. One of these during the past year was that to Savannah, where the meeting of the Georgia Baptist Convention was being held. The choir performs on many occasions for local civic clubs and other Macon groups. Each spring the members present a delightful program of melodies from the great musical comedies. Perhaps the best-known of the choral groups activities, however, is the presentation of Handel’s ‘'Mes- siah” each year tiefore Christmas holidays. The cantata attracts hundreds of citizens from all over Georgia as well as a great many students and Macon friends. Mercerians Are Active in Various Special Interest Groups The Music Club is one of the new orgartmt- lions al Mercer, Its members have music either as a major or minor course. The aim of the club is to promote music appreciation. ti is only during the past year that Mercer has offered a major in music. The new field of major study has attracted a number of new students ami has provided a more varied pro- gram of study and, thus, a heller Mercer University.

Throughout this hook thus far we have tried to give you a picture of life on the Mercer campus. Now as we coine to the section devoted solely to the students themselves, we pay tribute to one student in particular. Buck Preston, who was tragically killed during the Christmas holidays. Seldom does a student appear who attains the respect and friendship which Buck had attained in his one quar- ter at Mercer. He was active in ail phases of campus life, excelling in both scholar- ship. activities, and athletics. He was chosen by his classmates to serve as Freshman Vice President and by his fellow pledges as President of the Phikeius. He was held in high regard by all who knew him. In loyal memory of our friend and fellow student, wc dedicate this space.

It- mem- bers were confused and somewhat perplexed during the week of urientutiorl ami planning for schedules. Dormitory life was new and exciting for like- out-of-town students. Kat Contl ended a long day of fun and yet was somewhat painful for the ‘'freshman rat-.'’ V member of the class was then selected queen to reign over the court. Gradually all the pieces began to fit together for the enthusiastic freshmen and they real- ized that each would find his place in the story of Mercer. The thrill of cheering for intra- mural games, the sense of belonging as the members look positions on councils, and the friendly greeting from upperclassmen were all a part of the freshmen's first year of college.
