This is Wofford, 1964! To many of us, it is bewilderment, excitement, sadness, joy, failure, success; it is a time when we dispell our fears and fulfill our dreams. The Main Building and grounds of Wolford began as a result of the will of Benjamin Wofford who bequeathed to the Methodist Episcopal Chuch of South Carolina funds to establish a liberal arts college for men in the Spartanburg area. Since 1854, the campus has grown. The old blends into the new, leaving a visual account of the growth of Wolford. One can still see the original Old Main and several other buildings which have been completely and beautifully restored. The campus displays itself in various forms: Modern classrooms for facts, THIS IS WOFFORD • 1964 I understanding, knowledge; the library for [ research, study; the dorms for sleep, study, friendships; the field house for 1 clean competition, fun; fraternity houses for relaxation in an atmosphere of friendliness in the strong I ties of brotherhood; and the Twin Towers and Ben ' s monument for , tradition, respect, admiration, and symbolism. A mass of buildings, a long hard schedule, a faculty, a school spirit, a sense of pride, a way of life — this is the setting by which the student is educated. We come into this new and totally I different environment confronted with major decisions and problems. As we proceed through four years of concentrated study under the guidance of our distinguished faculty and the inspiring, immortal monuments which are forever aljout us, we find our minds growing in breadth and scope.
