Hope is not blind faith that things will get better. It’s a realistic belief that things can get better.
Despair is an illusion of certainty. Hope is an appreciation of possibility.
Change requires a way. There is no way without will. There is no will without hope.

September 27th is E.H. Little Day! Thanks to Mr. Little for his very generous donations to establish a new library on the Davidson campus. The dedication was on September 27, 1974.

🍁 Fall is here! 🍂 We wanted to celebrate the coming weather by looking at the past! Here is a photo from the 1980s showcasing our beautiful yellow and orange trees. Who’s ready for our campus to look like this again?

If you were an incoming Davidson student 30 years ago, you might recognize these! Before school started, you'd have to fill out a Housing Preference Card to be assigned a roommate. Applicable statements included, "I am an early riser" and "I like to play my stereo often."

"Be a good steward of your gifts. Protect your time. Feed your inner life. Avoid too much noise. Read good books, have good sentences in your ears. Be by yourself as often as you can."
