May Day, 1952, with the lily pool in the foreground. The Spirit of the Confed
eracy was the motif for the occasion and was artfully carried out with the young- wom
en beautiful in their pastel dresses, and the young men resplendent in their uni
forms of gray. Two small cannon flanking the steps leading to the pool, and a Con
federate flag that had proudly waved over the smoke of battle, flying from the
flagpole, added romantic color to the occasion.
Scenic Wonderland
Varied Attractions
Are Offered To
Summer Visitors
One of the features which
make Brevard college at
tractive as a place for sum
mer study is the fact that it
offers such a wide variety of
attractions to its students.
The campus, surrounded by
mountains, is near some of
the beauty spots of Western
North Carolina. Fifteen miles
to the south at Camp Green
ville, South Carolina, is a
breathtaking view which was
called by the Indians “The
Pretty Place.” An open air
chapel has been erected on
the spot where Cherokees
and the early settlers of this
area formerly worshiped.
Four miles away is the Pis-
gah National Forest. Paved
roads wind through the for
est hard by Davidson river,
passing such landmarks as
John’s Rock, Looking Glass
Falls, The Pink Beds, Wagon
Road Gap, and a link of the
Blue Ridge Parkway. Mt.
Pisgah and the Rat tower
5,749 ft., looking down up
on forest glades and verdant
valleys or to the faint azure
rim that marks the distant
Blue Ridge peaks. Other
nearby scenic attractions are
Table Rock, Lake Lure, the
Cherokee Reservation, Lake
Junaluska, and the Blue
Ridge Parkway.
For the past several years
Brevard has come to be call
ed the Summer Music Capi
tal of the South. During the
months of June and July the
Transylvania Music Camp is
in session. The weekly and
Sunday concerts are open to
the public. The Brevard Mu
sic Festival in August marks
—Turn To Page Four
The panoramic view from the crest of Pisgah, 5,749
feet above sea level, is one of the most beautiful in West
ern North Carolina.
Eighteenth Summer
Session Announced
The eighteenth Brevard
college summer term will get
under way June 8, 1953, for
a six weeks summer session
in a setting that is unexcelled
in beauty and climate.
The program has been set
up with the idea of attempt
ing to meet the individual
desires and needs of each stu
dent. Those who wish to
spend six weeks in intensive
study so that they can accel
erate their normal college
program will find that this
can be done with a high de
gree of satisfaction because
of the invigorating mountain
climate, the proximity of a
well appointed library, and
the individual attention
which is available to every
student.
On the other hand, if one
has had a long cherished am
bition to paint, study music,
or take some other course,
and combine this with a need
for relaxation in which it will
be possible to find a long-
sought-for time to read, listen
to the music of the masters,,
or enjoy some of the varied
attractions of Western North
Carolina, this is also on the
summer school menu.
The Brevard college cam
pus this summer should be an
unusually interesting center-
of activity where individuals^
of varying age groups and',
many varied interests fromi
various states come together
with a common purpose of
spending six enjoyable and
profitable weeks in the
Sapphire country of Transyl
vania county.
