These three institutions,
with splendid traditions
gathered over the years, be
queathed to Brevard college
a priceless heritage. It was,
therefore, expected that the
now institution would imme
diately take its place in the
fore ranks of the junior col
leges of North Carolina. This
expectation was fulfilled.
The quality of its product
was soon tested in four year
colleges and universities
throughout the nation. Grad
uates and former students
from Brevard college have
successfully transferred to
more than seventy senior col
leges, universities, and pro
fessional schools in twenty-
one states and the District of
Columbia.
Today the college enjoys
full state and regional ac
creditation. Soon after it was
admitted to the Southern As
sociation of Colleges and Sec
ondary Schools in 1949, it
was accredited by that pio
neering accrediting agency,
the University Senate of the
Methodist Church, which
was the official accrediting
agency of the Methodist
Church until it discontinued
this f unctioii.
Brevard college has never
aspired to be big. It has con
tinually aspired to be good in
all that this word connotes.
Motivated by this desire, a
building program was
launched in 1947. The fruits
of this endeavor can be seen
in an excellent library, a
modern infirmary, the new
dormitory for women, and in
the renovation now under
way in Dunham and Taylor
Hall. Other new buildings
and improvements are to fol-
Refresher Courses
In English And
Mathematics
In order to provide for the
needs of rising high school
seniors, and high school
graduates whose background
in English and mathematics
is inadequate, the summer
school curriculum offers re
medial courses in these sub
jects. High school students
who are interested in taking
any of these courses for cred
it should confer with their
principals. Upon request, the
Dean of the College will be
glad to go into details re
garding course content.
Students who have not
taken plan© geometry will
be able to complete this sub
ject during the summer
term.

Today three-fourths of the
county’s 379 square miles is
covered with forests, streams
and waterfalls and is rem

ble scholarships and an en
dowment fund of more than
a half million dollars have
given the institution a finan
cial stability which stands as
a pledge for continued ser
vice as Brevard college closes
its first century’s history and
faces the challenge of the
second hundred years.
When the co - eds move
from Taylor Hall to the new
dormitory for women follow
ing the Easter holidays, the
renovation of the building,
which had to be discontinued
with the beginning of the
Fall Semester, will be re
sumed.
The major work will be
confined to a complete rewir

oration inside and out, and
the laying of tiling for the
floors. During the late sum

The college is unusually
fortunate in having as a
member of the Board of
Trustees a furniture manu
facturer. He has taken a spe

for the dormitory. The fur

type beds and mahogany
chests in the students’ rooms,
to the drapes and accessories
for the reception parlor, ev

of an interior decorator

During the summer ses
sion trips are arranged so
that students can attend two
of the outstanding dramatic
productions of this area. Un

vicissitudes of the Cherokee
Indians from the days of De
Soto to Andrew Jackson, is
an especial attraction, with
the commodious amphithe
ater located in the heart of
the Cherokee country. The
other production, Thunder-

Daniel Boone.
