LEEWIND: The Clarion's Purpose

LEEWIND is a weekly series by the Lee Clarion featuring a story from our archives to celebrate Lee's Centennial.
Oct. 1948—
Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife!
To all the sensual world proclaim
One crowded hour of glorious life
Its worth an age without a name.
Sir Walter Scott
The Clarion is sounding, the fife is filled and we are now proclaiming to the world that every hour of the glorious life at Lee College is worth an age without a name!!! That's exactly the spirit that has prevailed around the Lee College campus since the first day of registration for the fall term. The main trend of conversation is "We're having the best year we've ever had," or "Didn't you enjoy the services last Sunday?" or "I never thought I could be so happy in school." Such things are heard in the dormitories, on the campus, in the dining hall, and in the classroom. In fact, anywhere you find a Lee College student or faculty member you'll hear something good about the school, because everyone seems to have started off on the right foot and it looks as if we're going to keep in perfect step throughout the year.
The Lee College Clarion shall seek to fulfill a two-fold purpose—to promote a very high quality of school spirit on the campus and to serve as a real source of information to the students as well as to people outside the school who are interested in its progress, whether they be prospective students, alumni, families of students, church workers, or friends. With this purpose in mind, the officers of the Lee College Alumni Association and the paper staff have agreed to combine the Lee College Clarion and the Alumni News Letter in an effort to produce a paper of greater interest to the readers of both publications.
We sincerely trust that this monthly account of the campus activities will cause those who are here to be better boosters for the school and will create within those who are not here a desire to visit us, or better still, to become students of this institution which is striving to instill within the lives of its students a deeper appreciation for Christian principles and at the same time offer opportunities for standard academic training and cultural development.
