“You have a lot to cele
brate at Elon College,” said
Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr., in
his Founders’ Day address in
Memorial Gym yesterday
when the college, community,
and friends marked the 90th
anniversary of the founding
of the institution.
After acknowledging the sa
crifices and hard work of the
founders, and especially those
who rebuilt the college after
the fire of 1923 and the Great
Depression of the 30’s, Gov
ernor Hunt went straight to
the core of his speech-the
continued value of private
higher education in North
Carolina. “Church related
and private education is very
important to North Carol
ina,” he said, “We need both
private and pubhc institut
ions. People should have the
opportunity to choose; both
types of colleges should be
available to students.”
“Many people want schools
that teach values,” he went
on. Today, perhaps we need
values more than ever, he
said. It is proper for the state
to promote an overall system,
and he himself has worked to
assure that the support could
be increased every year since
the independent colleges ask
ed the legislature for assistan
ce for North Carolina stud
ents. That was when Hunt
was lieutenant governor.
This year, he said, he has
recommended an increase of
$75 per N.C. student for the
first year and $75 for the
second year of the biennium.
This means $475 and then
$550 a year for each North
Carolina student attending an
independent college full time.
Governor Hunt commended
the college for raising funds
under PRIDE, one-half of
which have been raised al
ready.
“It is essential that Elon
College be the best it can
be-this means students prim
arily,” he said. “Do all you
can, and be all you can be,”
he urged.
“We should dedicate our
selves to the idea of living
together.Such concerns should
