Dear Friend:

In the life of an institution there are often a few major events -- watershed dates - that dramatically impact its future history. In Gardner-Webb’s history there have been four major events: (1) the decision to begin the Boiling Springs High School in 1905, (2) the decision to become a junior college in 1928, (3) the Gardner- Webb name in 1942, and (4) the decision to become a senior college in the late 1960s. It is with great pride and anticipation that I announce to you that on January 1,1993 our name will officially become Gardner-Webb University. This is the culmination of a lengthy process which has involved all major Gardner-Webb constituencies. University status recognizes Gardner-Webb’s current quality, size, complexity, and degree offerings, but it also helps focus our vision for the future. That decision is to become the best regional university of our type. Built on a history of change and growth, Gardner-Webb University will wear her new name with pride. Exciting things are happening at Gardner-Webb. We continue to grow in student numbers. New endowments allow us to make financial aid available to more and more students. In addition to strengthening the undergraduate programs, a School of Divinity will begin offering graduate training for ministers this spring. Plans are well underway for a Graduate School of Business which will offer an MBA degree. Other program expansions are being studied. The name Gardner-Webb University is indicative of growth, change and a look to the future. We hope you will join us — as friends, alumni and supporters — in helping Gardner-Webb University rise to the challenges and needs of a new day. With all this talk of change, however, we must remember that some things will always remain the same — the intimate atmosphere where professors know their students, the Christian environment that is our cornerstone, the beauty of our campus nestled here in the foothills, and the feel that each person who enters our campus gates is special. Gardner-Webb College to Gardner-Webb University ... we will always remain “People Who Care.” Sincerely, M. Christopher White President <5v- -iySZvKKl Sn«JR j^£XfwgvFsg fflgps 5v-«xJ!m;w. t • ’'iWj v^y-p. \VW' ■k'Sk,Kv«/: .

DECEMBER 1 9 9 2 /3 A Tribute to Ernest Blankenship By Dr. Jim Taylor He left us just a year short of retirement, dying at home quietly and suddenly in the warm summer night as though to save us trouble. There was no time for farewells to family or friends, nor were they needed from this man who had already by his generous life filled our treasure chests to overflowing. Simple, yet more complex than most people realized, Ernest Blankenship had already made his mark when death called.

DECEMBER 19 9 2 / 1 1 Dr. Phil Perrin Climbs Mt. Everest Reaches Nearly 24,000 Feet

EDITOR'S NOTE: Fine Arts professor Dr. Phil Perrin was the focus of attention this fall as he and a 15-person group set out to climb Mount Everest. Dr. Perrin adds this experience to his previ¬ ous climbs of Mt. McKinnley, Aconcogua and Vincon Masif.

Here, he writes an account of his adventure:

Phil Perrin returned from Nepal on Oct. 22. He was a member of an Ameri¬ can expedition to climb Mt. Everest. The 15-person group arrived at Base Camp in late August and attempted the fa¬ mous South Col Route that Hillary and Norgay first climbed in 1953. They es¬ tablished four camps and used the lad¬ ders and fixed ropes from the French and Spanish expeditions that preceeded them. After acclimating at the various camps the group had difficulty with oxygen and regulators which delayed its two summit attempts. In early October seven climbers left for the summit. Four turned back between camps three and four and three went to camp four on the South Col, waited two days for acceptable weather, then turned back. On Oct. 4, Phil was a part of a 12-person second summit attempt. He was slower and weaker than normal going through the ice fall to camp one, indicating probable difficulty with the climbs higher up the mountain. After a night of agonizing decisions Phil and another climber decided to abort their summit attempt after reaching camp three (23,800 ft.), the highest elevation either had previously achieved. One other climber turned back right above camp three and two others used oxygen to get to camp four, then turned back. Of the seven remaining, one climber and one high altitude sherpa turned back at the South Summit and the other five achieved the Summit on Oct. 9. Of these, one fell 200 yards down the Tiblet face injuring his leg and several ribs and another developed pulminary edema and twisted his knee on the descent. They all made it back to camp four by nightfall but were very slow but safe in their descent to base camp.
