E TER TO LEAR . . . GO QUT T0 SERVE Through these portals for nine decades, stu- dents have passed in pursuit of the academic muse. Shepherd College is a landmark of higher education throughout West Virginia's eastern panhandle and the tri-state area. lt is located in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, on the banks of the peaceful Cohongoroota. The Indians gave this name to the Potomac and it was chosen as the name for the college yearbook. The Cohongo- roota, River of the Wild Geese Flying , denotes calmness and serenity. High above Potomac's cliffs stands the Rumsey Monument, a favorite rendezvous of students. The Alma Mater also expresses the importance of the river in the school's tradition. Shepherd College represents a blending of the traditions of a historic town with the expansion of a modern educational institution. Since its founding, Shepherd College has grown to a fully accredited four-year college with an enrollment of nine hundred students. The college is accredited by the North Central Association, the Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, is a member of the Association of American Col- leges, and is on the approved list of the American AT SHEPHERD, Registration lines move quickly and soon stu- dents learn to linger in the library. Its periodical shelves hold the latest professional journals, its racks carry the latest home town paper. Association of University Women. ' ,. . .uw in-' , -WL .. .,.-.....--1: l if

Such modern buildings as Turner Hall, the new stu- dent activities building, and the new cafeteria are the most recent products of a lang-range building program which will eventually include a new library and a fine arts building.
