Ir vin, the new president of New berry College, Thursday, in his remarks to the College’s stu dent body on the first day of classes of the new school year. “We need to know where we stand and what our particular goals are as we try to edu cate our students,” he empha sized; “we want to pursue ex cellence in everything we do, and we willingly accept the challenge of change in our so ciety.” The veteran educator, who be came Newberry College’s twelfth president on September 1, told nearly 800 students that “Although I am not a part of Newberry College history, I can read in the records that there has indeed been change.” During the past 30 years the academic program of the Col lege has been studied to meet the needs of Newberry College students and the country; the major fields of study now of fer more options to the stu dents, independent study is en couraged, a greater emphasis is placed on preparation for graduate studies, and the In terim program introduced in 1970 provides greater opportu nity for innovative work and individual inquiry and accom plishment. Dr. Irvin will ask the faculty committee on Academic Goals to consider new programs in international education, commu nity service, continuing edu cation, and to coordinate the courses and activities in mu sic, theatre, and literature into a “cultural core” which might be of an interest to students from other institutions. “Everyone who has anything to do with college teaching, or learning, or with administering knows the purposes of and the objectives of an institution are of the utmost importance to it,’ he told the student body. In outlining Newberry’s pur poses, he declared, “All that we do at Newberry stems from our belief that religion does more than anything else in life to give purpose and direction to life.” “A College like Newberry,” he continued, “should always be strongly intellectual in con tent and me should test tl tlei o{ student hod. Our courses e intellectual met- and should make strong intellectual demands on the students.” A final objective of the Col lege, he said, is to provide an effective program of specializa tion in one subject-matter area in order to prepare the student to enter his chosen professional or occupational field, or to suc cessively pursue graduate study. Dr. Irvin concluded his charge by stating, “And I ask this morning, particularly of the students, that you help me to w'ork through many of the dif ficult problems facing all of us in all of our colleges these days. These are the problems of curriculum of evaluation of faculty members, of our philo sophy of education in a chang ing society, of campus morals, of all those things that always affect communities, wherever they are or whatever period in history they exist. I ask you to believe with me, that we are a Christian community at New berry. To be a Christian com munity means that everybody belongs—the students, the fa culty, the administrators, and the staff—in short ‘Love is the Message’. In spite of the pro blems that arise or in spite of difficulties, we are always go ing to agree on this campus that in the crunch it is love, both brotherly love and agape which is the message.” Indians win at Emory & Henry Don Garrick scored one touch down and rushed for 143 yards as Newberry’s Indians whipped Emory & Henry Wasps, 27-7, in their game played Saturday night at Emory, Va.
