This is our thirteenth homecoming. Year by year our students have returned. But this time they are seeing a new Bre vard college. The physical appear ance of the campus and the build ings is changing rapidly. We have been looking forward to these changes for many years. We hope that our former students and friends are just as much thrilled with these developments as we are. Along with these changes in the physical situation, there are some other changes which are just as important. We now have the largest stu dent body and the largest number of faculty members in our history. Our program is more extensive than ever before. There is a fine spirit on the campus. Our former students and friends can serve us best by sending to us fine, up standing young men and young women for our student body. We certainly hope that we may have constructive suggestions from our former students, and that we may have their cooperation in the build ing of the new Brevard college. (Signed)—E. J, Coltrane.
