The staff of the 1968 Summit takes pride in presenting the first yearboolc wliich encompasses the entire school year, from the August Registration to June graduation. We have tried to portray the events of this past year including the changing physical appearance of the campus, the progress which has been made in areas of educational study and research, and the increasing opportunities which Asheville-Biltmore College offers students seeking a comprehensive liberal arts education. The educational purposes of thus institution as outlined in the catalogue have been the theme of this yearbook. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to those who have helped in the production of this issue. The staff extends a special word of gratitude to Bert Shipman, whose professional photography has added to the quality of this book, and to Frank Arnette, the Delmar representative who has given more than official time and advice to the publication of the 1968 Summit.

To Pursue Successfully Their Individual Goals In the middle of last August, only days away from that Sunday when students, loaded with suitcases, duffel bags, and trunks, would come pouring in from California, Texas, and New Jersey as well as from all over the Southeast, the Dean of Women, the Head Resident, and a few worried students began to look askance at the unpainted, empty rooms which were devoid of any suitable furniture but were filled instead with dusty lumber and loose tOe. However the construction workers labored on at a speedy pace until the Village at last became livable, if not luxurious. A sight worth seeing occurred the night before Dorm Day . The President and the Dean of Students wilfuUy pitched in and swept, moved lamps, arranged sofa cushions, and generally saved the day. Dan K. Moore, Governor of the State of North CaroUna, and Manly E. Wright, Chairman of the Board of Trustees converse with President Highsmith following the Dedication of the dormitories on December 15, 1968. Each building was named after seven governors of North Carolina, Zebulon B. Vance, O. Max Gardner, Locke C. Craig, David L. Swain, Charles B. Aycock, W. Kerr Scott, and Dan K. Moore.
