in memoriam Dr. Henry T. Shanks an exciting liberal, an ingratiating conversationalist, an extraordinary scholar, a memorable and distinctive educator, a great friend of the Hilltop. His true love for his students, his deep concern for colleagues and admiration for them, his full dedica- tion to the welfare of Birmingham-Southern College, all made him one of this community ' s, this state ' s rare men. The shock of his loss painfully persists. His memory will long be with us as green as warm spring- time on his Hilltop.

Dedication Florida Herndan Sherrod Standing behind the desk in Hanson Hall is a gentle lady who for sixteen years has influenced the lives of Hilltoppers. Her influence has been directed to the instillment of higher ideals in the men and women of Southern. Her beautiful life, her love for the Hilltop and Hill- toppers makes her a great figure in the personal his- tory of our institution. We lovingly dedicate the 1960 edition of the SOUTHERN ACCENT to her.
