PUCTUICcb THE HERITAGE OF MONTREAT . . . I PRESENTING THE SUN DIAL 2 1963 MONTREAT-ANDERSON COLLEGE MONTREAT, NORTH CAROLINA 3 A HERITAGE . . . Montreat--beautiful, majestic, and lovely--for thirty-eight years for thee we have prayed, planned, labored, and sacrificed. These are the words of Dr. and Mrs. R. C. Anderson, and they express the love which these two people shared through the years for our beloved college. Montreat stands as a monument to their genius and energy. Montreat , a shortened form of Mountain Retreat, began officially in 1916 as Mon- treat Normal School, planned mainly with the idea of training Christian teachers. Dr. Anderson's home was the scene of the first trustee meeting, and he was elected a com- mittee of one on finances. The first fifteen years marked great progress in the college, with special emphasis placed on spiritual growth. Students were carefully selected on the basis of their native ability and character. The spiritual life of the faculty was particularly stressed, for the administration realized that it was the life of a teacher which strongly influenced his students and taught them how to live. In 1933 the school became a junior college, and was renamed Montreat College. During the next several years, through the dedicated efforts of the Andersons both in planning and in donating funds, significant buildings were erected on campus. Montreat became a four-year college in 1945 and had its first graduating class in 1947. Then in 1959 it assumed its present status as a coeducational junior college. Its new name, Montreat-Anderson College, reflected that of its long-time friends and bene- factors and was an expression of the tribute owed them for their contributions over the years. In Montreat's half-century of history, the college has had the leadership of three capable men. When Dr. Anderson was eighty-three, his resignation was received with deep regret, yet with appreciation for all he had accomplished. Dr. J. Rupert McGregor assumed Dr. Anderson's duties as President, Treasurer, and the sole member of the Finance Committee. Dr. C. Grier Davis became president of Montreat in 1959. The story of Montreat is one involving sacri- fice, yet joy--the joy of Christian service. The Andersons were extremely modest about their part in the forming of Montreat and humbly gave all the praise to their Lord, whom they called Montreat's Master Builder. In the words of Dr. Anderson: Through the years God's richest blessing rests upon the work. All is a monument to His goodness ... we are supremely grateful for what He has done, and we trust the work will con- tinue to grow under His blessing stronger, larger, and better from year to year. ... IN MEMORIAM Montreat was saddened by the death of Mrs. Robert Campbell Anderson on October 3, 1962, in her ninetieth year. Mrs. Robert Campbell Anderson was born in Mocksville, North Carolina, on August 10, 1872. She was named Sadie Gaither, the only child of Thomas Hall Gaither and Bettie Kelly Gaither. She was educated in Charlotte Female Seminary. In 1896 she was married to Reverend Robert Campbell Anderson and for sixty-six years, ’’adorned the teaching of God our Savior, as a minister's wife, the hostess of the Manse, and the First Lady of Montreat. Mrs. Anderson took an active part in the establishment of Montreat College in 1916. Her home was always open to students and faculty, to whom she was a gracious hostess. The college came to be her first love and primary concern. She shared with Dr. Anderson a vision of a strong Christian institution of higher education in Montreat, the home of the General Assembly. In 1959 the Board of Trustees changed the name of this institution in honor of Dr. R. C. Anderson, her first president, and Mrs. R. C. Anderson, her chief bene- factor. We humbly thank God for His servant, Mrs. Sadie Gaither Anderson, for the radiance of her Christian life, and the steadfastness of her faith, and we offer a prayer of thanks- giving that by His Grace, she endured to the end and received the Crown of Life and achieve- ed the Victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 A HERITAGE THAT IS COLLEGE HALL College Hall was erected east of Gaither Hall in the years 1941- 1942. Dr. Anderson gave three choice lots to provide a site for this building. Money was taken from the college treasury to help pay the $40,000 cost of College Hall. In March 1958, College Hall was de- stroyed by fire and was rebuilt by mid-summer of the same year. The beginning of wisdom is this . . Proverbs 4: 7a OURS Gaither Hall was named in memory of Mrs. R. C. Anderson's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hall Gaither of Charlotte, North Carolina. Mrs. Anderson donated money for this building and Dr. Anderson designed it. Up- on its completion in 1936, Gaither was dedicated as a building to be used for the Lord's work. Gaither consists of classrooms, a chapel, science laboratories, administrative offices, and a li- brary. HISTORICAL FOUNDATION The Historical Foundation, which is a li- brary, an archive, and a museum, was establish- ed and has been financed and operated by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. It is a center of interest to Montreat visitors and to students of church history. GAITHER HALL A HERITAGE HOWERTON HALL Howerton Hall was first known as the New Hotel since it replaced the original Alba Hotel which was completely destroyed by fire in 1945. This hotel was later named Howerton Hall in honor of Dr. J. R. Howerton, the first president of Montreat after it was bought by the Presby- terians, for it was under his leadership that the old Alba Hotel had been constructed. CROSBY ADAMS FINE ARTS BUILDING The Crosby Adams Fine Arts Building was purchased in part by gifts in order to honor Mr. and Mrs. Crosby Adams who had been a vital part of the life of Montreat College since it was founded. It was to be used as a gathering place for musicians and for the teaching of music. It is now used as a dormitory. OF DIGNITY McAlister hall McAlister Hall, the newest building on the college campus, was constructed from funds granted through the Amelia Mc- Alister Upshur Estate. It was dedicated on May 26, 1957, and is used for the physical education classes and for such activities as skating and dancing. 9 THIS BEAUTY DINING ROOM Food for thought . . THE FALLS Mrs. C. E. Graham and her son, Mr. Allen Graham, gave $25,000 to build a concrete dam and bridge to replace the old wooden one at the south end of Lake Susan. The lake was named Susan for Mrs. Graham, her mother, her daughter, and her granddaughter. MUSIC BUILDING The present Music Building, originally the college infirmary, was a gift from Dr. R. C. Anderson. The building was rebuilt in 1942 and changed into the Music Build- ing in the fall of 1960. It now serves the dual role of a music building and a clinic. ACCOMPANIES LIFE ASSEMBLY INN Assembly Inn was built on the site of the old Montreat Hotel which was destroyed in a fire. Dr. Anderson started the construction of the new hotel. The first of the conferences in the Inn was the meeting of the Gen- eral Assembly in 1929. WORLD FELLOWSHIP BUILDING The World Fellowsh ip Building was paid for by the 1936 Birthday Offering of the Women's Auxiliary of the Presbyterian Church, U.S., and by the Mountain Retreat Association. Dr. Anderson provided the plan for the building and served as superintendent of the construction. rv A HERITAGE LIBRARY Miss Cora A. Stone, a former missionary to Japan, helped establish a community library which contained 1,300 volumes. After Gaither was built, arrangements were made for these books to be placed in the college library in Gaither Hall, and the library was to be known as the Cora A. Stone Li- brary. With this collection of books, $1,500 was given to help in the maintenance of the library. ANDERSON AUDITORIUM In April, 1940, the old Anderson Auditorium burned, but under the supervision of Dr. Anderson, it was rebuilt in time for conferences in the latter part of June. The new fireproof building was named in honor of Dr. Anderson. OF KNOWLEDGE THE BELL TOWER The Bell Tower on the campus of Gaither Hall was left as a memorial by the senior class of 1940. Designed by Dr. Anderson and built by local labor, the tower is in perfect harmony with the stone work of Gaither Hall. The bell was donated by Mrs. Anderson's father, Mr. T.H. Gaither. CHANGING OF CLASSES . . . What's done cannot be undone. --Shakespeare THE HERITAGE OF A But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, based on law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteous- ness from God that depends on faith . . . Philippians 3: 7-9 Heroism can be accomplished quietly in a lifetime . . . such is the case of Miss Lucy Grier, who has been fighting a battle for God almost her entire life. Miss Lucy represents a strong Christian heritage which will continue because of her Christian life. She was born in Suchowfu, China, the child of two Christian missionaries. Her mother ministered to the people of China as a medical doctor, and her father as a minister and teacher. Miss Lucy graduated from Shanghai American High School in China. After completing her education in the United States, she returned to China as a missionary for approximately six years until the Japanese invasion made it impossible for Miss Lucy or her parents to continue their work. In 1942 Miss Lucy and her mother became part of our college. Miss Lucy, as a nurse, assisted her mother who had become the school doctor. Since that first year, Miss Lucy's kindness and tireless energy has radiated through every corner of Montreat to be remem- bered by every student who has known her. The warm smile, the genuine sincerity, the healing sympathy, and the wide knowledge of Miss Lucy Grier has become a part of the heritage of Montreat. In this way we dedicate the 1963 SUN DIAL to Miss Lucy Grier. 14 MONTREAT PATRIOT 15 He made streams come out of the rock, and caused waters to flow down like rivers.
