Methodist College offers a program designedt'0 enable students to prepare for active and suc­cessful living as Christian citizens in the twen­tieth century. Through its academic program,social functions, concerts and lectures and extra­curricular activities, the college strives t'0 giveits students, in a distinctively Christian atmos­phere, every opportunity to train the mind,strengthen the will, discipline the emoti'0ns,kindle the imagination, cultivate the conscienceand build up the body. While we cannot claim.1'0 obtain these 'Objectives completely, we domake an earnest and constant effort to that end.We believe that education should be concernedwith teaching people how. to live as well as howto make a living.

The most important single consideration in anyc'0llege is the faculty. The strength and qualityof Methodist Col1ege's academic program re,stswith its hIgh quality faculty. The faculty-student

ratio at Metlrodist Oollege is 1·15, providin,g acrose relationship which may be observed in thefreedom of academic exchange as well as through

~aculty,student as'sociatilons in the dining hall, on

the athletic co.yrls, between -classes, at s'0cialevents, and j~e facuIty members' offices,where students are ,always welcome.

As a liberal arts college Methodist College emphasizes the humanities and basic sciences. Thecourses of study are intended to be an expression of the college's philosophy of educahon as set forth in"Education with Meaning and Purpose".

Over 200 courses are offered in six areas of study: (1) Language and Literature (2) Religion and"Philosophy (3) Education and Psychology (4) Science and Mathematics (5) Social Science (6) Fine Arts.

Majors include: .

Biology English History MusicChemistry French Mathematics Religion

Economics and Business Administration Elementary Education

Through its Teacher Education Program the college prepares secondary school teachers of English,French, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and the special subject teacher of General Music.

A "3-2" program in Engineering is available in co-operation with North Carolina State College andDuke University.

In the college community the library is second only

to the faculty as <l resource channel.

The new library, occupied for the first time in the

fall of 1964, provides facilities for a minimum of

50,000 volumes, 'reading area for a minimum of 300

people including approximately 40 private study car­

rels, music listening 'room, special collections room,

conference rooms, and other facilities which combine to

make an excellent and modern library.
