College Receives Large Grant From Foundation
President McLarty
Announces New
Building Program
The people of Brevard helped
the college to receive a $100,008
Challenge Grant from the Mary
Reynolds Babcock Fouindatiou-
This grant was given with the
stipulation that Brevard would
have to raise $200,000. When
the people of Brevard found
tliat the colege was still $5,000
short of its goal a go'od number
of them sent in contriibutioms to
help Brevard reach the neces
sary figure.
The money was used to pay
off the Science Building. This
is an excellent example of the
good will the people of Brevard^
feel for Brevard College,
President McLarty was very-
pleased that the townspeople
had helped Brevard in this in
stance. He also issued the ac-
companing photograph and the
following statement.

The photograph of the street
and building layout together
with a sugested schedule oE
planiting was proposed by a Bre
vard College alumnus. Mr. Thom
as Anderson, Class of 1958, pre
sented a thesis to the Depart
ment of Lanscapinig Architec-
tiu-e at the University of Georgia
in partial fuUiilment of the re
quirement for the Bachelor of
Science degree. This thesis con
tained, together with other pho
tographs, this one. The thesis
dealt with the arrangement anta
would enhance the looks of the
campus. It is the hope of the
administration that planting of
an indigenous type will be used
on the campus, thus allowing
for native growth that can be
procured from the Pisigah Na
tional Forest.
The new street layout and
lighting are among the next pro-
' jects to be undertaken in the
