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

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.

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
