Cd some extent the amount of success that our great experiment in peace- time hving and education will enjoy. Perhaps, too, it is more than that.

DEDICATION For many years Madelyn Thomas Hale ' s devoted service, re- markable efficiency, and constant cordiality have made student life at Birmingham-Southern easier and more enjoyable. Those of us who left the campus for service in the armed forces remembered Mrs. Hale while we were away as the symbol of that which was good in college life. When we returned, her smile, her friendship, and her remarkable ability for remembering us assured us that Birmingham-Southern had changed but little while we were away. For those of us who stayed on during the war, the difficulties of those trying years were cushioned by Mrs. Hale ' s kind assistance and cheerful way. Our days at Birmingham-Southern, then, will be more fondly remembered because of that intangible quality of goodness that she lent to them. To Mrs. Wyatt W. Hale, therefore, this 1947 South- ern Accent is gratefully dedicated.
