“How Shall They Learn?'’’’ In 1848, there were almost no educational opportunities for young women to learn the “standard disciplines” in a school of higher education. “How Shall They Learn?” was a serious and important question. In answer to the question, Chowan College was founded to provide “a school of high order” for the young women of this region. From the very beginning, Chowan was committed to education based on truth and values which can only be found in Christian precepts. Through the years, Chowan has been committed to the ideal of Christian higher education for the people of its region and beyond. “How Shall They Learn?” is equally as serious and important today as it was in 1848. There i^ a dif ference in the form which education can take and that difference will make a difference in the lives of young men and women. Nationally recognized as one of the nation’s very best church-related two-year colleges, Chowan is helping more than 1,000 young people to learn ... with an all impor tant difference. To help young people learn, Chowan offers a broad curriculum designed to meet the needs of the in dividual student, with offerings which vary from a unique graphic arts and photography program, to both academic and vocational business programs, to the more conventional liberal arts pro grams. To help young people learn, Chowan has gathered a highly qualified faculty, distinguished by its dedication to teaching with concern for the individual student. To help young people learn, Chowan provides a beautiful campus with excellent classroom and dor mitory facilities. From the stately elegant McDowell Columns building to the modern science- engineering building, Carrie Savage Camp Hall, to the new gymnasium-physical education center now under construction, Chowan offers an outstanding learning environment to meet the needs of young men and women. To help young people learn, Chowan excercises careful planning and sound management of its resources to keep the cost (tuition and fees) to the student at the lowest possible level. By making every dollar count, Chowan has operated on a balanced budget for 20 consecutive years, in spite of inflation. Always the answer to the question “How Shall They Learn?” involves the commitment and sup port of concerned individuals like you and those who will join you. When you give to the 1978-79 Chowan College Annual Giving Fund, you will be helping young people to learn, grow and develop in a special way. You help answer the question in a special way.
