Irvin addresses
student body
Change and purpose were em
phasized by Dr. Fredric B. 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.
Head coach Fred Herren’s
Newberry crew, registering a
victory in its opening game,
started early, and scored in
each quarter that followed.
In the first period, the In
dians defense stood out because
they had two pass interceptions-
both by Tim Bradshaw.
The second interception by
Bradshaw led to the first New
berry touchdown. It came with
6:55 left on a two-yard run by
Garrett. Tommy Williamson
added the conversion for a 7-0
lead.
The second quarter the Wasps
came back though. Fullback
Martin Lee broke loose on a
51-yard run, but was finally
brought down on the Indian
one-yard line. On the following
play, Martin bulled over with
12:16 remaining. Tom William
son kicked the extra point to
tie the game at 7-all.
But Newberry later started
another drive. Garrick dashed
21 yards down to the Emory
and Henry two. Jimmy Fulton
then crashed across the score
for the Indians with 5:39 left.
Williamson added the second
point after.
Newberry changed quarter
backs in the second half as
Steve Muirhead subbed for
Williamson. Garrick later gal
loped down to the Wasp one
yard line, and then Muirhead
took it over with 10:52 left in
the quarter. The kick failed.
In the final period, Newberry
drove to the nine-yard line be
hind the running of Garrick and
Steve Williams. On fourth down,
the Indians tried a field goal,
but it was no good.
The Wasps cranked up on
another drive. They took over
on their 20-yard line, trying a
pass but it was intercepted by
Newberry’s Jim Bowers on the
32. He returned it for a touch
down with 1:30 left on the clock.
Garrick added the extra point.
