The most important evont at
Mars Hill College in this century
has passed into history—the in
auguration of Dr. Fred Blake
Bentley as president of the col
lege. It is perhaps the most im
portant event of this century be
cause, more than at any other
time, an era has ended and a new
one has begun. Dr. Bentley em
phasized this in his inaugural ad
dress.
Dr. Bentley said, “The only
justification for our existence is
excellence or the promise of at
taining it. Unless the church-re
lated college can discharge a dis
tinctive function, it can scarcely
expect to draw upon the churches’
resources or upon the people’s
confidence.” He went on to say,
“The endeavor of the church-re
lated college is not monasticism
or legalism, but it is the union of
Christian and academic concern.
What the college can require of
the students is an intelligent un
derstanding of the Christian faith
and life.” He noted that in a re
cent publication, EMPHASIS ON
EXCELLENCE, “we have stated
that Mars Hill College will en
deavor to have an institutional
environment in which teaching i
our main function and the stii
dent is our greatest concern . .
an emphasis on the individual!’!
In closing his address. Dr. Bent]
ley stated some distinctives in
which the school’s integrity i
vested, pledging his best perform
ance to the trustees, to the facul
ty, and to the students. To thi
students, he said, “The utility o
the process of learning, over an(
above the pleasure it may give
is that it should serve you in th(
future. Learning should not onlj
take us somewhere as an enc
achieved; it should allow us t(
continue to grow more easily
John Dewey stated this more pre
cisely when he said, ‘Education
is all one with growing.’ Learn
ing is a continuing process of re
construction of experience. May
each of us in this community
realize our poor condition and
seek to grow together.”
He ended with a simple, all-
encompassing pledge to each and
every person connected with Mars
Hill College. “I have no ambitions,
no interests, no desires except to
do with all my heart, mind, and
soul what my office requires.”

ART CRITIQUE
On exihibt in the Fine Arts Gallery until 3 Dec., 1966, is a col
lection of drawings and paintings by Tucker Cooke, instructor of Art
at Asheville-Biltmore College.
The artist’s debt to the great French tradition of the nineteenth
century is evidenced by the two drawings after Jean Auguste Ingres-
In these, Cooke’s academic background and ability are clearly demon
strated. His fine draughtsmanship can be seen as well in the paint
ings: “The Black Coat, Virginia,” and “Red Rose Repose, Linda.” I®
both, skillfully drawn, sensitively rendered figures of young girls
dominate.
Contrasting with these lyrical works are the more abstract “O’re
the Ramparts We Watched,” and the brutal, expressionistic “The
Legal Age.” Equally as brutal is the satirical “America, America,”
in which a pompous, vacant face glares from behind “shades” while
an American flag unfurls in pink and white glory.
Competent, versatile, the paintings and drawings in the current
exhibition at Mars Hill represent a conservative approach to the
exciting and meaningful forms and techniques of modern art.
