Dr. C. C. Ware Is Responsible
For Discipllana Library At ACC
One of the most valuable collec
tions of history of the Disciples of
Christ is located in the Carolina
Discipliana Room of the C. L. Har
dy Library at Atlantic Christian
College. Containing some 16,000 vol
umes and bound periodicals, it is
the only considerable collection of
Discipliana on the eastern coast
of the United States.
The Discipliana Library is in ex
istence today due to 39 years of
diligent research, hunting and writ
ing by Dr. Charles Crossfield Warg,
curator of the collection. Assem
bling the treasure has not been an
easy task. Dr. Ware often traveled
hundreds of miles at a time seek
ing material. He has been required
to pay up to $300 for a small set
of books, while others were obtained
at very little or no cost. His search
has taken him from New York book
stores to attics. Most of the time he
found people very helpful.
A large portion of the volumes
and documents are extremely rare,
many dating back to the 17th cen
tury. Perhaps one of the most prized
volumes of the collection is the
1738 edition of “The Histroy of the
English Baptist,” by Thomas Cros
by.
The Discipliana is a virtual gold
1964 Symposium
Announces Topic
Next April, during the week of the
fifth through the ninth, the 1964 Car
olina Symposium will sponsor anoth
er of its biennial presentations.
This spring’s topic will be “Arms
and the Man: National Security and
the Aims of a Free Society.” This
will be the thirteenth. Symposium
since its beginnings as the Insti
tute of Human Relations in 1927.
The Symposium is the oldest colle
giate group of its nature in the
country today.
The 1964 Carolina Symposium will
explore the nature of these Cold
War demands and seek to assess
the effects of the requirements of
collective secrity on individual free
dom and democratic values. The
Symposium will indicate not only
how the political, economic, social,
and cultural life of the United States
has been changed by the nation’s
defense effort, but it will attempt
to point up the directions in which
these basic elements of American
civilization are being moved.
There will be a number of noted
speakers at the Symposium includ
ing Senator William Fulbright, Sen
ator John Sherman Cooper, Han^
Morgenthan, William S. Barnes, and
David Brinkley.
mine for those doing research on
the Disciples of Christ. Researchers
have come from many states and
found the Discipliana invaluable.
One Atlantic Christian College pro
fessor, while working on his Ph. D.
degree at Yale University, used
many of the books in the collec
tion because he could not find the
material elsewhere.
There is also a great deal of ma
terial which would aid those seek
ing information on Baptist, Method
ist and Quaker religions because of
their earlier involvement with the
Disciples. Among the collection of
documents are minutes of the First
North Carolina Baptist Convention
and the first Kentucky Baptist Con-

boys have come out of hibernation to soak up a few rays. Note

bathers of the impending danger of prowling deans.
