Title
Davidson College Statement of Purpose
Description
As early as February 1960, then President D. Grier Martin began envisioning a statement of purpose for Davidson College. Within the course of the next two years, Martin’s idea began to take shape, as a “Committee on Purpose” was formed in January 1962. As David Wheeler explained, “these men sought not only to grasp the meaning of an education at Davidson and its value to the community but also to describe men the committee would deem qualified to serve the college.” In presenting their report, the Committee on Purpose emphasized two elements that must continue to characterize Davidson, both of which remain deeply rooted in the ties between the College and the Christian faith.
