CHARI1NGA ~~ FORTHE FUfURE ("jT hrough three-quarters of a '7 century, Harding has striven to maintain its focus and its original purpose - to provide Christian education. When its founders made plans for the school, they charted a course for Harding and the many students to come. They worked to. integrate academic learning with faith in Jesus Christ and the Almighty God. Since its doors were opened 75 years ago Harding has faced struggles of all kinds, but it has not strayed from the course set before it. Harding has grown and changed tremendously over the yea rs. There are several new buildings, a few thousand more students, different faces in the facu lty, staff and administration and more academic programs and extracurricu lar activities. Many basic aspects of life at Harding have also drastically changed since its beginning. Curfew has been extended from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., girls can wear slacks and even shorts, car dates are allowed and late permission may even be granted. Howeve r, through these various changes, the faith ofHarding's founders, administration, faculty and students as awhole, has not wavered. This fait h that is nurtured in an environment of open worship and Christian living has enabled Harding to continuously grow and strive to keep charting a course for the future-a course that remains set on the ultimate goal of eternal life.
