INTRODUCTION
Growth and expansIon seen
in completion of new centers
Offering the student expansion in educational facjlil if's alld advancenlcnt of the curriculum prop;rclltl hilS bern a primary goal of Ilarding College rlLlI'ing tJw 19()'l-70- ilrad~mic year.
During the year the college underwent a fullscale review of its program by the North Central Assoc iation. It was the first such revisitation since the college was accredited in 1954. French, physics, miss ions, and a broad area major in Bible were added to the cun'iculum program last year.
Construction has now been completed on the Art Center, Music Center. and the drama theater and each building has been utilized during the year. Another building that students make use of is the Beaumont Memorial Library which now contains 91,926 volumes, 2,885 reels of microfilm and more than 1,800 records. Plans for a building extention on the library are now in development.

BIBLE
MISSONjPREPARE generates
concern for world involvement Evangelistic efforts were a major concern to
those students involved in the Bible department. As an outgrowth of the MISSION/ PREPARE program, Harding established a Medical Men for Missions project, a Missions Research and Information Center and an Advisor and Development Council in World Missions. Campus Evangelism, a movement in which many students took an active part, conducted campaigns this year in Colorado, North Carolina, Louisiana, Kansas, and Indiana.
Classroom hours were enriched by the stories of those students and teachers who had spent the previous summer helping to teach in such places as Australia, Ireland, Germany, Japan, and Denmark. Keith Robinson, visiting missionary from Rome, Italy, helped to further establish the relatively new world missions major.
During the week of the fall lectureship many widely recognized speakers were on campus speaking on the timely topic, "'Is God Concerned." Regularly required daily Bible classes were dismissed so that all students might have a better chance to hear and talk to them.

FINE ARTS
New buildings reflect growth In \\Decade of Development"
Advancements in the facilities of the art and music departments contributed much to the fine arts area at Harding College. The music building and its recent additions were officially named the Claud Rogers Lee Music Center in dedication ceremonies held early in the year. Mrs. Dale Lee of Gladewater, Texas was honored as the contributing donor for her $125,000 contribution for the new facility, named as a memorial to her late son.
Open house activities signalled the addition of the new $200,000 Art Center- to the campus as the fifth and latest building in the school's Decade of Development program. The additional room afforded by the nearly 12,000 square feet of floor space provided a new gallery.
A high point of the year for Harding's A Cappella Chorus was a two week tour to the Northeast in late November. The Belles and Beaux made numerous special appearances with their show centered around the theme, "A Song for all Seasons."

NATURAL SCIENCE
Biological science department
builds greenhouse, herbarium
The division of Natural Science continued to grow with new developments in every department. A new greenhouse was erected and a herbarium was built for the use of those in the biological science courses. Dr. William D. Williams of the Physical Science section received a Distinguished Teacher award and Dr. Dean Priest returned after three year's of study at the University of Miss issippi with a Ph.D. in Mathematical Analysis.
An award for the outstanding math major was established this year by the wife of the late Mr. Charles Pitner, who was the chairman of the mathematics department from 1947 until 1961.

SOCIAL SCIENCE
Students discuss and explore "Perspectives of the Seventies"
The various majors constituting the division of social science were brought together through the American Studies program. Outstanding lecturers and educational tours contributed to this year's theme, "Perspectives for the Seventies." Special meetings were conducted in which students explored the truths and principles resulting in the affluent society of America, and tried to determine whether or not these same ideas would be applicable for the seventies. With a primary interest in business, forty students and their advisors visited Dallas in the fall and Chicago in the spring.
Harding's business team spent much time in preparation for its competition in such contests as the Michigan State University Marketing games. Faculty member Billy Ray Cox, who worked closely with this group, received a Distinguished Teacher Award. New to the department of psychology-sociology, was Ron Brotherton, who was acting chairman. He holds the MA frm Fresno State College and lacks only the dissertation for the PhD from the University of California.
