A healthy intellectual atmosphere, in which self-disciplined learning and the free exchange of ideas are encouraged, sets the acadertnic tone of Asheville-Biltmore College in its new status as a senior college. The boldly experimental program of the college seeks to instill in the student an attitude of flexibility and open-mindedness, to stimulate intellectual curiosity and vigor Its aim is to give the student the best possible opportunity to equip himself to successfully meet the challenging demands of the modern world In such a world, it is not enough to be informed; it is imperative to understand if one is to choose wisely and act effectively One must do more than simply stay afloat in the present, he must prepare himself to grapple with an unknown and uncertain future, so that he con be the master, not the victim, of sociol change. The opportunity for such preparation is provided at Asheville-Biltmore College. A new program, modern buildings and instructional facilities, a well-qualified faculty, and o stu- dent body eager for knowledge — all add up to vital and meaningful education. 11
