AIMS OF PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE
Presbyterian college is a Christian
college of the liberal arts and natural
sciences. In pursuing its work it has
some ver^ definite aims in view. Some
of ^em are as follows:
1. To do high-grade, honest college
work. The college does not appeal to
its constituents for patronage on the
ground that it is a church college, but
on the ground of the class *of wdrk it
is doing. Its faculty is strong, its
buildings modem, and its location con
ducive to study. The entrance standard
is fifteen units. By means of a well-
rounded course of study Vthe* college
itual welfare of its .students. There
fore they have determined that the
development of a Christiifn character
must be emphasized. They believe
that the directing of the student’s vis
ion to the highest ideal character is
not a secondary matter. The college
stahds firmly on the great truths of
evangelical Christianity. Every mem
ber of the faculty is required to be a
consistent member of the church. The
Bible is taught m the regular curricu
lum as the word of God and the one
book of divine authority. Chapel exer
cises begin the work of each day and
every student is required to attend at
aims to provide fundamental cultural | least one preaching service on the
training, and to furnish opportunity j Snbbath. The college is not sectarian,
for such specialization as an under-1 t ut it is Christian,
graduate course admits. ' While the college attempts to throw

tion for university work and for en- • Etudeifts, it is not a reformatory
tering the several professions. A stu- i school. Parents who cannot control
dent planning to enter th» legal* pao^
fession finds courses adapted to his
needs in history, economics, politics,
and English. Those preparifigto'prtc*^
tice medicine find provision made for
them in the departments of physics,
chemistry and biology. For those
planning an engineering course, t
department of mathematics and phy-r
sics offer courses they would be ex
pected to pursue in the iirst years of
theix technical training. Candidates
for the ministry find strong courses
provided in the classics, English, his
tory and philosophy. To those expect
ing to teach, special work in education discipline
is offered. Graduates who wish to
teach are able to obtain a flrst-g^ade
teacher’s certificate oh the same terms
as graduates of the State University.
TJiorough preparation for post gradu
ate work is offered.
3. To build up a strong Christian
character. The college authorities are
not of the number of those who be
lieve that a college shoulKltlils
their sons at home must not expect
the college to assume the responsi
bility;
"■4. To develop all sides of the stu
dent’s nature. Athletics and out-of-
door sports are needed for the devel
opment of the physical side. The gym-
ium is in clMrge of competent di-
tors. All students'are required to
e some form pi^jihysical exercise.
5. To place a college education in
reach of young men of limited means.

life work is to be, t,he value of the
broader outlook acquired, the mental

is an alumnus of the, Emory theologi
cal school and had extensive connec
tions'in Atlanta.
An unsuccessful courtshiff of an At
lanta girl whose name was withheld
was described to police by intimate
friends as a possible motive for his
disappearance.
Mr. Duncan registered at a hotel
here shortly after midnight Sunday
morning Jbut checked out in time to de
liver his regular morning sermon.
Church officials were unable to of
fer ariy explanation of his disappear
ance and were reluctant to discusus it.
They described him as a ‘^splendid
bnan aim one of the most promising
pastoraln the Western North Carolina
conference.”
At Emory he was an officer of the
student council, an all-round, athlete
and editor of one of the university
publications. Before attending theo
logical school here, he was a students
at Wofford college, Spartanburg, and
held a number of pastorates in South
Carolina after graduation. He is the
son of Dr. Watson B. Duncan, Metho
dist minister of Lake City, S. C.
