Members of the Class of 1948 have played a leading role in making this success possible. This e.xcellent issue of the Summit records evidence of the enriched college program instituted this year. Increased enrollment, new courses, additional extra- curricular activities, a larger faculty, finer equipment, more adequate library facilities, and extensive improvements to buildings and grounds can be numbered among our gains. But this progress is only comparative. There is much work to be done. A more fitting and complete physical plant — one in keeping with the dignity of our work — is badly needed. And better instructional facilities are essential if we are to serve ade- quately the needs of youth and of the varied interests of the community. The college stands at the threshold of a new era. We hope the days ahead will witness the establishment of a standard four-year senior college in Asheville. Only then will the people of western North Carolina realize the greatest benefits from their most valuable asset — the youth of today and tomorrow. Only then will thousands of the most intelligent young men and women of this section of the state be able to gain a complete college education and thus be able to contribute more effectively in supply- ing vital leadership to the community, state, and nation. May this issue of the Summit stand as an historical link between the old Ashe- ville-Biltmore College and the new, greater Asheville-Biltmore College. May the hopes and aspirations, the dreams and desires of students, faculty, and friends of the college who vow that it will become one of the great institutions of higher learning in the South, be realized.
