Chowan College Following A Time-Honored Tradition MURFREESBORO - Chowan College Is following In the time- honored tradition of snialler, church-related colleges where one finds such advantages as a real sense of ‘tielon^g’’ to the college family, instruction based on Christian presui^ositions, economy in tuition and boarding expenses, and definite interest in the individual on the part of the faculty. Chowan is the second largest two-year college related to the Southern Baptist Convention, the second oldest (established in 1848) of North Carolina’s seven Baptist colleges, and the second largest two-year college in North Carolina, This co-educational institution has been the scene of unprece dented progress in growth and services as an institution of Christian hi^er education but the trustees and administration are determined that quality rather than quantity shall always be the primary consideration. They realize that the smaller, well- equipped and accredited two-year college is able to offer a quality and type of education which the larger institution can never pro- VERITAS /ide for youth who are standing at the doorway of their higher edu cation experience. Chowan College, therefore, ex ists for the student, propagates with unyielding tenacity its avow ed purposes, and operates within a framework of responsibility to achieve academic excel lence while shouldering the responsi bility of maintaining Christian commitment through its entire program. Purposes Of Chowan College Chowan College officials summarize the purposes of the college in four statements as follows: 1. To provide quality higher education which is grounded in Christian truth, and to help the individual student to gam a truly Christian philosophy of life. 2. To enlist as members of its faculty and staff only those persons who are scholastically proficient, morally excellent, and who are genuine lovers of youtn and its strong potential. 3. To give thorough training in the standard dis ciplines to those students who wish to continue their education in other higher educational institutions, anu to those students who are seeking vocational education and excellent trade instruction on the backdrop of a liberal arts education. 4. To train and develop Christian leaders—both lay and professional—who will serve well their churches, their communities, and their world. DIRECTIONS FOR THE DIRECTOR are given by Ross A.
