High
School Students
To Visit Our College
Invitations have been sent by
the college to tne principals of
fifteen high schools in the east
ern and western parts of the
state to accompany their stu
dents on a trip to Brevard Col
lege, in order to acquaint high
school students with the various
phases of college life.
The college hopes in this man
ner to acquaint pupils who ex
pect to attend college, either
here or at other institutions, with
the phases of college life with
which they are not familiar.
The first group of students
will probably arrive some time
today, and will be conducted
around the campus, in the class
rooms, and will be given an op
portunity to enter into the regu
lar phases of campus life.
The administration of the college
hopes to be of service to the pu
pils in enabling them to decide
whether or not Brevard College
is the type of institution which
they wish to attend.
The students will be familiariz
ed with matters of registration,
payment of bills, method of in
struction, social activities, ath
letics, and above all will become
acquainted with the spirit of the
college.
