Designed with maxi mum flexibility, the campus buildings were planned to accommodate the changing and constantly updated education programs and social attitudes of our time. The setting, campus and ultra-modern facilities all contribute to an individualistic approach to education. For well over a century, Bryant College has pioneer ed in specialized education that provides an essential resource for business and industry — creative, knowl edgeable, and highly skilled men and women.
Bryant was founded in 1863 as a privately-owned commercial college in Providence, Rhode Island. Its motto, then as now, was "Education for Business Leadership". But the definition of "business leader ship" has been in constant transformation since that motto was conceived, and Bryant's educational mission has expanded accordingly. Today, business decisions have an increasing impact on the daily life of every individual in society. This close relationship between business and its environ ment places a heavy responsibility on the people who must make the decisions: they must be equipped with a comprehensive view of how their actions may affect both present and future lives. By combining business courses with general studies courses in the humanities, the social sciences, and the arts, Bryant gives its students the foundation for a lifetime of achievement and continued learning. Nationally recognized four-year undergraduate programs lead to degrees of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Bachelor of Science in Business Communications and Bachelor of Science in Law Enforcement. These four-year programs may be completed in three or three-and-a-half years by attend ing special sessions. On October 24, 1967, Earl S. Tupper, former president of Tupperware Company, made an outright gift of his 222-acre estate to the College. This gave Bryant the unique opportunity of building a new campus from the ground up. The move to Smithfield in 1971 converted Bryant from an urban to a suburban college. The campus location offers individual students the best of two worlds— the serenity of a suburban campus, all within 15 minutes of Rhode Island's capitol city, Providence. A network of modern superhighways links the campus to the major turnpikes of New England. The campus is only 12 miles from Providence and 40 miles from Boston.
Athletic
Facilities
Athletic facilities are an integral part of the Bryant campus. Last spring the new multi-purpose activities center opened its doors to the Bryant community. The addition of the MAC gave Bryant one of the most complete and modern collegiate athletic facilities in the East. Geared to serve the entire 3,000 Bryant student population, the MAC gives Bryant a total of six all-purpose courts which can be used for basketball, volleyball, badminton, or tennis. In addition, the new facility has five racquetball/handball courts, so Bryant students can enjoy one of the nation's fastest grow ing recreational sports. The new facility also has a 13,230-square foot mondo-coated playing surface, ideal for intramural basketball, indoor tennis or jogging. The new surface complements the 15,000 square-foot tar tan-covered playing surface in the main gymnasium. Together the two buildings give Bryant students nearly 50,000 square feet of indoor athletic activities. The main gymnasium with its 2,700-seat center basketball court, remains the hub of the campus athletic facilities. In add ition to the main floor, the eight-year-old building also contains locker rooms, men's and women's saunas and a suite of seven offices which house the athletic department staff. But the indoor facilities are only part of the Bryant athletic complex. Nearly 150 acres of the beautiful 300-acre Smith- field campus are devoted to outdoor athletic facilities with six tennis courts, a quarter-mile running track, an international style cross country course and fields for varsity softball, base ball, soccer and a wide range of intramural activities. Of course Bryant students are not the only athletes who have been able to take advantage of these outstanding facilities. For several years the Bryant campus has served as head quarters for some of the top sports activities in New England. Since 1975, Bryant has been the summer training site of the New England Patriots. Each summer thousands of New Eng land football fans enjoy the cool breezes of northern Rhode Is land as they watch the Pats prepare another quest for the Super Bowl.

"Quite honestly, he's the most loyal employee I've ever had, at any level." "If he had something to say," adds Folliard, the current Stonehill College coach, "he'd close the door quietly, say what was on his mind, good or bad, and that would be that. But outside of that room, he was totally loyal." * * * DRURY HIMSELF SAYS the award culminates a long, unusu;,: -lyssey that has taken him from the laundry roor. ihe top of the Division II rankings, from the jeweiry factory to NCAA small-college finals, from the jungles of India to the tastefully furnished athletic director's office at Bryant. In the early and mid 1960s, he was a noteworthy player in his own right, a 6-1 forward on his Fitchburg High team who scored 14 points a game and could jump with the best of them. The team made it to the state schoolboy finals when Drury was a senior, but was turned back by a Pittsfield player who scored 33 points and called himself Mark Belanger. At Springfield College, Drury found himself in the middle of another winning program. The team made it to the NCAA small-college finals twice. One of the highlights of his life, he says, was a nine- week trip around the world with members of a touring American college team sponsored by the State Depart ment. They traveled from Paris to Rome to India. He taught basketball in cities and in jungles. Once a coach, always a coach. After a short tour of high-school coaching, Drury made his way to Brown University, accepting the $l,200-a-year post as freshman coach and second assistant to Alaimo. He tried to bolster his income by teaching physical education in high school, but dropped that idea after a couple of years. * * * "I ENDED UP WORKING at DaVinci Creations, a jewelry shop, for seven weeks," Drury relates, punctu ating the story with a prominent grimace.
