FORE"W"ORD The philosophy of a co llege. makes a strong impact upon the students who imbibe the spirit of their alma mater. For years an increasing emphasis on the pursuit of excellence has characterized tlw program at Harding College; however, the verbali - zation of this objective was made by Dr. Clifton L. Ganus, Jr., President of Harding College,in his inaugural address on September 18, 1965. The ultimate goal is that each student may seek to do his best in whatever he undertakes - in the classroom, on the football field, in the A Cappella chorus, on the debate team, in student publications, in student leadership, on the basketball court, in work assignments, in daily living. The" pursuit of excellence" has become a powerful motivating factor in the lives of Harding students. This has been evidenced in ti,e achievements of Hardin/! students and the dedica ted Iives of service of Harding alumni. In academics, in social activities, in alhletics, in dramatics, in forensics~ in music, in work, in play, in student teaching, in laboratory. in student work, in service to othcrs~ in worship to God, in all facets of life, excellence is the goal _ excellence as an achieved reality as well as a moti - vating ideal. College years are important years - years of preparation for great achievements in the future and years moreover in which life flows at high tide. Although the central feature of any college is the academic program and intellectual development, an equally important fa cet of a Christian college is tile spiritual emphasis upon the development of Christian character and commillment. The purpose of this book is to help you recapture the highlights of the 1<)66-67 school year at I-larding College.

I Excellence is fundamental to Harding Heritage For 29 years Dr. George S. Benson served as president of Harding College, beginning in the rall of 1936 and retiring following the 1965 spring Commencement. Through his untiring efforts he raised the money to clear the indebtedness, build several new buildings, and establish a sizeable endowment. In addition to his effective leadership in Christian education, Dr. Benson was a forceful advocate of the American way of life. 6 More than a decade ago Dr. Benson began preparing Dr. Clifton L. Ganus, Jr., to succeed him as president. A year's study in college administration at Columbia University and actual experience in various administrative positions prepared President Ganus for the position he most capably fills. A scholar in American history and a dedicated Christ ion, Dr. Ganus knows the meaning of the "pursuit of ('xrellenrp.'"

ROBERT T. CLARK, JR., PhD 1916 - 1966 Dr. Robert T. Clark gave three years of outstanding service to Harding College as Vice-President in Charge of Research, joining the Harding faculty in . September, 1963. A 1939 alumnus of Harding and the recipient of the 1961 Distinguished Alumnus Award, he completed the Ph.D. degree in physiology at the University of Rochester in 1949 and subsequently became internationally famous for his research. He died suddenly on the afternoon of July 7, 1966, from cardio-vascular problems of long standing. Even his closest friends did not know that he had been" running for his life" for more than a decade, but physicians performing the autopsy agreed that running had prolonged his life. 12 Born on a farm near Union City, Tennessee, on December 3, 1916, Dr. Clark received in his youth the discipline of farm life. He achieved an excellent academic record in college and also became recognized as a top collegiate sprinter. He was an outstanding teacher who " kindled the flame" of his students. He was a dynamic track coach who got superior effort from his team. He was a humble. dedicated Christian who enjoyed preaching for rural congregations. He was a devoted husband and father and the hospitality of his home was enjoyed by scores of students and colleagues. He loved people, especially college students, and his life was Iived in service to others.
IN MEMORIAM l esplendent with the energy he showed, Our friend with eager effervescence glowed; came the sudden setting of his sun ~e eventide of life was scarce begun: l emoved from earth to ioin a better clime, To live again, beyond the reach of time . The message he would leave for us is, "Run! ~ nothing stop before you've done your best And wait until you're through to take a rest, lelenting not a bit, but keep your pace; leep Oil with all you've got and win the race!" -Russell L. Simmons
