tt?]. I I Moffett Hull, a dormitory designed to bouse three-hundred-sixty-six students, was begun in the fall of 1961, and will be completed in fall of 1963. Named for Dr. M'I-edge Moffett, who served Radford College as instructor and Dean of Women during a career which spanned the years 1913 to 1962, it will be the largest of our dormitories. For many years it was customary to take students on an annual picnic. This last annual picnic scene shows the group, headed by Dr. Moffett, wading m the Roanoke River near Dixie Caverns. During the Baccalaureate Service held in June, 1962, a gold cross was dedicated to Dr. Moffett by the local pastors and the student religious workers. The cross is used in religious ceremonies held in the auditorium of the Administration Building. Her respect for individual dignity and her example of service to her followman, and to Radford College, have secured her place among the builders of the Radford College and its principles. 27

Foreword Perhaps the test way to explain the purpose of the 1963 BEE HIVE would te to choose a theme and attempt to mold every phase of life at Radford College to conform to the theme. Because any theme we might choose would limit, and thus distort, some or many of our experiences together, we have tried to avoid the use of one. However, a book cannot be a confused mass of pictures and copy — some central idea must draw it together and give it unity. That idea must te broad enough to include all of what we call Radford College. This year we have been fortunate in finding that central thread. The Fiftieth Academic Anniversary of Radford College will bind our book together. We want to show you Radford—yesterday, today, and tomorrow. If one must insist upon a theme, call our theme PROGRESS. This book attempts to show the progress we have made in the understanding of our role academically, spiritually, and socially. It will show the growth of our facilities and the expansion of our student body and Radford's standards as they have teen cherished and practiced by our students and faculty will show the progress we have made in understanding ourselves and others. Therefore, we shall include not only the past fifty years, but also the traditions and unique qualities of Radford for which we, and students of the years to come, shall be responsible. This personal aspect is what we shall attempt to capture. As you see, we are back where we started. We must include even,’ phase of Radford life, for progress is not one-sided. We, the Class of 1963. looking back to 1913 and ahead to 2013, present this l ook, hoping that someday, perhaps fifty years in the future, you will open it and remember RADFORD.
