THE YEARBOOK OF LOUISIANA COLLEGE PINEVILLE, LOUISIANA

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF • WINSTON DE VILLE BUSINESS MANAGER . FRANCES CHOP NINE TEEN E N OUR PRESIDENTS

DR EDWIN O. WARE Dr. Edwin 0. Ware, one of the founders of Louisiana College, was elected first president of the school June 4, 1908. He was a member of a committee ap­ pointed by the Louisiana liaptist Convention to locate and found the school. He resigned after one year. Later he was professor of English and also financial agent while the institution was in the formative years. He was a member of the Board of Trustees until his death. DR. W. C. FRILEY Dr. W. C. Friley, second president of Louisiana College, was elected April 15, 1909 and resigned April 26. 1910. He was a native of Mississippi and came to Louisiana as state evangelist in 1878. Louisiana College became coeducational at the insistance of Dr. Frilay. DR. CLAYBROOK COTTINGHAM Dr. Claybrook Cottingham, third president of Louisiana College, was a Vir­ ginian. He had been a member of the faculty at Mount Lebanon, and also was president of that institution when il was merged with Louisiana College in 1906. He came to Pineville with the College and was one of the three first faculty members. He was elected president June 10. 1910, and he served a total of thirty-one years. Under the statesmanlike leadership of President Cot­ tingham the College grew steadily from a small, insecure beginning to a well established institution. When Dr. Cottingham resigned in 1951 the school was out of debt. The property was valued at 8750.000.00 and the endowment was $325,000.00. DR. EDGAR GODBOLD Dr. Edgar Godbold, fourth president of Louisiana College, was elected in 1942 and resigned in September. 1951. Dr. Godbold's first connection with Louisiana College was in the position of financial agent to raise $100,000.00 endowment in 1912. Godbold Hall was erected with funds raised by Godbold in a whirl-wind campaign in 1917. World War II was going on when Dr. God­ bold became president. During the difficult days of the war the new president led the College in an inspiring manner. In 1948 Louisiana College had the largest enrollment in her history. A campaign for increased endowment raised it over a million dollars. Many of President Godbold's plans for enlargement were carried out after his retirement. AND PRESENT

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

We all want to remember our friends and

to be remembered by them. With the passing

of the years your yearbook will increase in

value. I extend warm congratulations and ap­

preciation to the editors of the 1957 PINE

KNOT for their services in preserving for us in

such an attractive volume photographs of our

associates, .scenes of the campus, and high­

lights of various college activities.

Sincerely,

G. EARL GUINN THIS IWAS LOUISIANA COLLEGE

Louisiana College had its beginning in the hearts and minds of heroic and determined Baptist pioneers. The idea of a Christian college arose out of the dire need for trained Christian leaders both lay and ministerial. "A new day would arrive in Baptist affairs in Louisiana." they said, "if this great need could be met." Thus the underlying need prompted the declaration of purpose as stated in Article III of the Charter of Louisiana College and which reads in part: ''The objects and purposes of this corporation shall be to own, oper­ ate and conduct a college or colleges, in or near the town of Pineville. Louisi­ ana, and to foster Christian education, in all of its branches, in the State of Louisiana, under the auspices of the Baptist denomination." YESTERDAY

LOU L SI ANA COLLEGE TODAY

As Louisiana College celebrated its fiftieth anniversary this year,

the laying of the cornerstone of Tudor Hall, the new boys' dormitory,

symbolized the present state of the institution. Louisiana College is a

growing college, and the administration and faculty, with the support

of Louisiana Baptists, will develop the Institution to university status

by 1970. Louisiana College continues to offer its students the Christian

education needed in the modern world. Every year, hundreds of its

graduates find their places of service in our society.

GREAT HERITAGE

Although its establishment was fairly recent, the roots of Louisiana College are grounded in antiquity. Louisiana College was founded in the humanistic tradition of Christian education, and the institution owes a debt to early Christian educators and reformers. The founding fathers of this college held to the ancient idea that education and Christianity arc compatible, that knowledge makes it possible for man to lead a more noble life, that Christ's servants must be thinking, creative, and imaginative human beings. Louisiana College is justly proud of its Christian heritage and of its leaders through the years. AND CONFIDENTLY WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE

PROFESSOR PIERRE VALMONT BLANCHARD The staff of the 1957 Pine Knot assumes a great amount of pleasure in dedicating this yearbook to Professor Pierre Valmont Blanchard. Professor Blanchard came to Louisiana College in 1936. During his tenure here, he has been a very real asset to the college and to the community. tic has promoted the advancement of cultural activities in the Alcxandria- Pineville area, and in recent years he has been responsible for the success of the "Louisianians." As a teacher. Professor Blanchard possesses qualities which have endeared him to several generations of students. He is superb as a musician. He is kind and patient and always demonstrates an under­ standing of the students' point of view. He has been a true friend to all of us. The lives that have been touched by the beneficient influence of Professor Blanchard are an enduring monument to his work among students. "irsf Row. Left to Right: Ward, Heaver, West, White, Walker.

FOUNDERS DAY

This year. Founder's Day, Oct. 2. 1956. held a special significance for Louisiana College, for with it she celebrated her Golden Anni­ versary. Five hundred alumni and friends of the institution were on the campus to see the excellent waj in which the school has used those 50 years in growth and expansion. Louisiana College did not let the day slip hv unnoticed, hut used the opportunity, not only to commemorate her past, hut also to high­ light her future h\ breaking ground for a new dormitory. The birthday celebration began with a morning anniversary pro­ gram in the Alexandria Hall auditorium. This was featured by an address hy Dr. Louie D. Newton, pastor of the Druid Hills Raptisl church of Atlanta. Ga., and vice president of the Baptist World Alliance. Receiving line at the president's home

Founder's Day audience After this program, visitors, faculty, administrators, and students alike gathered at the site of the new men's dormi­ tory, south of the Hattie Strother dining hall, just below the old football practice field, to witness the ground breaking. Mrs. Simon W. Tudor, widow of the man for whom the building will be named, broke the ground, with Dr. G. Earl Guinn. L. C. president, serving as master of ceremonies. Another highlight of the day's events was an open house held at Louisiana College's new president's home. At that time many guests saw for the first time this beautiful new brick home—both inside and out—built in traditional Greek Revival style. The faculty, students, and administra­ tive staff all lent their assistance to make this gala occasion a success. Pageant recalls memories of World War I

That evening the day's festivities culminated with a 10-scene pag­ eant depicting the history of Louisiana College. Fifty-five students took roles of prominent figures in the school's development, litis realistic performance was made possible by the college's play-produc­ tion class, aided by the Little Theatre.

The substantitive task remains the same always, hut there is a progressive step from the hazy stereotyped pictures of yesteryear to the modern half-tones of 1957 which lessen the job of portraying student activities. The editors of 1913 had their problems; forty-four years and two World Wars later we have had ours, the difference being only in degree. Whether or not this PlNE KNOT truthfully re- fleets the Louisiana College campus as it was in the year 1956-1957 is not for us to judge. It represents our efforts.

Exhibiting a growing interest in all phases of musical expres­ sion, the L. C. Singers play a prominent role among student activities.

Active in college affairs, the choir presents annually Handel's "Messiah" and a spring concert. With the untiring work of the director, the Singers have been led toward accomplishment of the highest ideals of the choral art and have attained a degree of confidence commended by the student body and faculty.

BAND

Half-time performance One of the student organizations which fosters much of the school spirit is the Louisiana College hand, directed by Professor Darwin White. Cheering at the hall games and having fun at campus activities becomes more enthusiastic as a result of the martial music contributed by the group. The L.C. hand serves a dual purpose. In the fall it plays marching music for football games and in the spring becomes a concert hand, featuring music of some of our most famous contemporary com­ posers. The band gives to participants occasion to acquire proficiency while providing pleasure for others.
