For one hundred and twenty-two years Wake Forest, North Carolina was the home of what finally became known as Wake Forest College. In the byways of a small town began a small college full of personality and memories not so much for the present generation, but for those who have made the glories of the present possible. Today at the old well where the students gathered after classes and where the academic processions formed, a moss- covered fountain remains to greet the theologians wandering about. To the south is I lunter Dormitory, the only men ' s residence hall on campus. And far on the other side of the magnolia-dotted acres stands Bostwick Dormitory, which first opened in 1925 for male students but turned into the first women ' s residence hall when the war forced admission of coeds in 1942. Stately it stands among the shrubs and dogwoods, the home for many in the past. Throughout the tradition-laden campus, eight years ago departed by the College, brick walks accented by moss and lichens stretch like rich carpets, rich with those who have walked their paths. No doubt, it was on one of these that Dr. William B. Royall made his classic statement that he didn ' t care it Wake Forest didn ' t turn out scholars, so long as she turned out men. How true of her purpose and her record. Moss and magnolia bum caver the brick walk -..here students Inr.r trudged to and from classes since 1134.
