Rezin D. Shepherd, tor whose family Shepherd College was named, and his successors envisioned more than a purely academic program, cultural pursuits have been o port of the college offering since its founding, In line with this beginning, Shepherd has continued to stress the cultural opportunities available for students. The Voice ot Shepherd, the college's closed circuit radio studio, is piped to the Ram's Den and the lounge in Knutti. The programs are planned and presented by speech students. The music programs are frequently carried to surround- ing communities by band and choral concerts, senior recitals, and the Christmas program. ln an especially active year, the drama department presented Blithe Spirit and a series ot one-act plays, which were directed and presented by drama students, Trips to cultural centers in Washington, D. C., a presen- tation by Barter Theatre, and participation in the College Fine Arts Festival, broaden cultural backgrounds.
