Information for the series is taken from “The His tory of Brevard College,” writ ten by Miss Marjorie Craig.) For mainly yefars ithere stood, on the ipiresenlt site 'Of tihe Sims Campus Ceinbsir Building, a build ing that to miany people was the heart Qif the oamjpus. When' Mr. and Mrs. Fitch Tay lor, who ifo'Uinded the Brevard IrS'Sltitute, iturned tlhla schoiol over to tihe Woman’s Missioniasry Ooim- cil 'Of -the (MethO'diisit Church South in 1903, ithey had raised part of the mooey weeded to con struct a budldiing on the lamd whicih had ibclen seoured (as a peir- nianenlt si'ts. When it was built, it was niamed Tlaylor in hontor of Mr. 'and Mrs. Taytor. A tfcree- arid-a-balf ^ory 'Woioden biiildainig which wiais heated iby stoves, Taylor KCaflll contamed aeoami.rla- datioms for 125 girls, tihe offitirlrs and teachers plus la pnovisdiom for (office and reception roomis, sitUidy halls, lecture rooms, a gj-mn)asium, diniinig room, kitch en, and laund!ry. By the time Mr. 0. H. Orr came to itih© Iinsititute ais siuiper- intendent in 1923 and the pre sent Taylior Hall was built, the Old Taiyilor wias in ted repair anid it was realized tihat it would have to be tom diorwn so thie new dormitory, was niamed Taylor. In 1914, thlsibuifliding was bricik- veneered to Imlatoh Spemceir HaM and Tayiloir Hall. Steam heat had teen added in 1910. When Bre vHrd OoU'ege opened in 1934 in the miildisit of the dte- pressiion and there was no monlsly for new buiidimigis, the old build ing became the center of liifis for the new college. The piastor of tha Methodist Ohurch, the Reverend J. H. Wes:t, was inistru- mental in getting the building reconiditioned. Thus “Old Tay lor” bsicame West Hall. The 'girls were assigned to West and the men wre put into Taylor and Ross HaJls'. Girls overfloiwtcid from West to the Old Virginia Lodigie and irito smaller dwellings on the dampus. West Hall was used as; the iprinciple acitivity building on oaiirjpus. It eoottaiinlsid the diming room, the kitchen, rooims' for girls, the girlis’ infirmary, an apartment for the dean of wo men, music studios, and several ro'oms UEjsid as' cli2£®raoimls. There were also rooms for single wo men teachers. Grad'ually, newer buildings we:ij efreoted to serve the pur- p'O'S'eis that West Hall hiad served for LT.iany yars. As these new buildings replaced the functions of the old building, it was diosed a little at a time. The dining rcoim was moved to a separate building in 1947 and them the upper floor wbs dlaiclared a filre hazard and closted. In 1950 the part that was still usable served as a men’ls dormdtory. After th(8i entire building Was clo'Sed ilt remained until four years ago when it was tom down so that th'6 Campus Center Build ing might be built. Although the building had outgrown its usefulness, many people raigreltted that it must be torn down. It had been for many yeans the buildtiing around which campus life centered and it held a place of importance in the hearts of everyone who had known it.

It was gratify ing to this writer to sise such a large audience on a night that was crowded with so many ac tivities and particuilarly since the weather was net favorable for travel for pl:irsons coming froimi out of town. The program was as follows: Concerto 1 in G major, I. Allegro —by Duke Johann Ernst, ar ranged by J. S. Bach; C'horale- preludei “Give Ear, O Lord Jchann Ludwig Krebs; Prelude and Fugu'ci in G major — J. S. B:,cli; Fifth Symphony for Or gan, IV. Adagio — Charles Marie Widor; Choral in A minor — Cesar Franck; Symphonic Chor- aile, “Jesus, Still Leiad On” — Sigfrid Karg-Elert; Chanty (Ply mouth Suite) — Percy Whit lock; Pavane — Robert Elmore; Prelude on the name ALAIN — Maurice Durufle; Inoantation for Easter day, “Christ Is Risieih, Al leluia” — Jean Langlais. The first half began with the Bach Concerto with an interest ing alternation from duple to tripDs meter. Mr. Swann handled this alternation expertly with the antiphonal use of igreat and posi tive divisions of the organ locat ed on either sidlei of the chancel. Thia meditated Krebs nuta'ber brought more emphasis for the Bach, which was thle major work of the first half of the program. The next two numibers from the French “cllassic” period, which were composed in thla late 19th century, pointed up the differ ence in emphases of thtese two schools in composition and or gan design. ’Mr. Swann invited the aud- ienice to join in singing ttoe hymn “Jisisus, Still Lead On,” which formed the basis imielodic pattern in the first composition oi the second section. This piece by Karg-EIert began the W serious section of representative niodlsrn organ compositions A whimsical touch was interjected by tlii2i Whitlock pieces. The third piece of almost pastoral nature with its rhythmic repeti- tion in the accompanimenit and its flute and reed melodfcs gave a pleasing contrast. An excellent example of imodern Frianeh dis sonance was introduced by the Durufle “Prelude.” Tha theme v/hich recurred in the “Prelude” Which was the main theme of the “Litanies” of Alain was brought out to its fullest advantaga. by Mr. Swann. The explanation giv en by Mr. Swanin concerninig the last selection greatly enhanced the enjoyment of this) piece. He explained how the text “Christ Is Risen, Allelulia” furnished the basis of the rhythmic motive uised by Langlais throughout .the whole composition. Although theoretically dissonant the piece did not appear thus because of fh« fiacile handling of the har monic idiom by the comipoislcir. The overall iimpression was tliat of excellenit choice of com positions for the program giving ample opportunity for contrasts of both hisitorioal periods and registrational principles. ^ Th« technical agility and registra tional ingenuity of Mr. Swann was evident throughout the en tire program. Mr. Swamm’s aibility to use to fuli advantage the re sources of the three-manulal or gan in the Brevard Methodist Church was quite impressive.
