A member of the track team Prospective students and their parents, who visit the Brevard College campus, usually leave with a feeling of warmth and good will toward the college. This is due in most part to the friendliness and helpfulness of Brevard College students. The parents are especially in terested in the size of the class es, the ratio of students to teachers, the physical facilities, the number of volumes in the library, transportation in and out of Brevard, and student re strictions. The prospective student in- inquires about dorm rules, keep ing a car on campus, his chances in college if he is an average student, Christmas and spring vacations, food, where does he wash his clothes, sports, student activities, and the ra tio of boys to girls in the stud ent body. All these questions are answ ered during an average Brevard College campus tour. The guide answers some of the questions, but the students usually answer most of them in -the course of the tour. The guide only gives direction and soon one or more of the students take the visitor in tow, answering questions as they go. There is always the scramble to find a room in one of the dorms, which, by the students standards, is present able for showing the prospec tive student where he will spend much of his time. The students are cooperative and helpful ev en though they have had no notice of the visit. They exhibit an interest in the visitor and a contagious enthusiasm for Bre vard CoUege. Visitors to the campus are generally interested in the Chelf Mineral and Gem Collec" tion housed in the science build ing. They ask if these siped- mens are indigenous to this area. The answer is, “Not all are to be found in North Caro lina, but there is a wealth of minerals and gem stones to be found within a hundred mile ra dius of Brevard.” Brevard Music Camp is known nation wiide, so most visitors ask if Brevard College is associat ed with it. The answer is, “No, Brevard College is well known in its own right for its music department. The Glee Club, Wind Ensemble, and Madrigal Singers tour from New York to Florida presenting concerts and creating good will for the college.” The evident growth of Bre vard College prompts the ques tion: Are there plans to con vert Brevard College to a four- year college? In reply to this question, “No, the aim of Bre vard College is to be the best two-year college offering uni versity i>arallel and specialized courses of study, and giving students the opportimity to find direction in the junior college atmosphere. The introducitlion of visitors to Brevard College is a reward ing experience. The greatest as set of the college, its students, give the visitor an impression of friendliness and dedication which is the major influence of their decision to attend and be come a part of Brevard College.
