The baseball world series seems to be the subject of interest. The tree-shadowed campus is located on College Hill, north of downtown Clarksville. From this, the highest eleva- tion in Clarksville, there is an excellent view of the Ozark Mountains, which are only a short distance away by car. The 30-acre campus is laid out in two broad malls at right angles to each other, thus lending visitas the length and breadth of the campus. The mountain background and the great oaks and maples give a distinctive and dignified air to the campus. The College of the Ozarks is fully ac- credited by the North Central Associa- tion and the Arkansas State Department of Education. The college is also a mem- ber of the Association of American Col- leges and Universities.
