PAGE TWO THE CLARION October 10, 1969 COLLISION COURSE College Experiences Years Of Growth It is during this week end that we, the present generation of Brevard College, join hands with past generations of Brevard College and take a look at the past, enjoy the present, and step firmly out into the future. This is Homecoming, 1969. Brevard College has been a steadily growing institution during the past 35 years of its history. Since that fall day in 1934, Brevard College has grown in both mind and physical structure to one of the finest junior colleges in the nation. It is a col lege that is well respected throughout the United States and the graduates of this institution have the reputation of doing well in the continuing of their college education. What has made Brevard College so well known and admired? The secret of the College is not one at all. It is the formula of steady, undying devotion to the institution by the teachers and students alike. Even after leaving Brevard College, these former citizens of the educational community help the College fi nancially as well as verbal praise. Look at the Brevard College campus of today. Indeed it has changed since 1934, for it is steadily making changes. Buildings have sprung up at the rate of one a year for the 'past five years, and more are still in the making. The enrollment of the Col lege today has more than doubled since that first year and the emphasis today is not in recruiting students to fill the College but instead it is in re cruiting students who will best fit into college life. Having a wider range of students in which to choose has in turn caused the academic requirements of the college to rise. Thus, the 1970 graduates of Brevard will be better equipped to continue in the universities than were students of ten, fifteen, or twenty years ago. _ It is well known that Brevard College gradu ates transfer to such well known universities as Duke, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and North Carolina State. They usually do well at these larger schools. t In retrospect, we see that from Dr. Coltrane, the first president, to today’s President Davis, the College has been on a steady upward surge. We think that it will continue in this direction.

Now it may not seem like a very big deal that no one can have liquor bottles in their rooms any more, and it prob ably isn’t, except for the fact that the ruling flagrantly vio lates the stated “Philosophy of Social Behavior,” infringes upon a student’s right to room pri vacy, his rights to freely ex press himself and mature at his own rate, his rights as a humB'n individual and is just one small inch, that if given to the administration, may result in the taking of a mile.
