Dedication Mrs. Veta Lee Smith We formally dedicate this, the 1958 Chief Justice, to Mrs. Veta Lee Smith, for her untiring efforts over the years, and for her helpful counsel which has made this publication possible. Many of us knew her only through a friendly greeting as we met her in the hall, while others were more fortunate in knowing her as an advisor, a prob- lem solver, or a reliable and respected friend. Mrs. Smith, our college secretary, came to Marshall in 1939 where she re- rnained until her resignation in 1957. Her duties varied from commencement coordinator and college historian to luncheon hostess to the dignitaries who visited Marshall and a member of sev- en college committees. She was a guiding force in bringing Fagus, Senior Women ' s Honorary, on campus and strove to helo it achieve and maintain its high standard of mem- bershin. The members of Fagus found her a worm., efficient, and dependable advisor upon whom they placed their trust and confidence. Her wisdom and judgment were unfailing. Mrs. Smith served as an advisor to the Senate for several years also. Here, as in other positions, she proved a cap- able match for the procedures of the Senate — a job that is indeed chal- lenging. The Chief Justice and the Chief Jus- tice Board were fortunate in having her experience and knowledge as a founda- tion and source of encouragement and criticism. She knew the financial incre- ments and problems as well, and had utilized this understanding to its fullest advantage. In a period of a few years under her guidance, the book has grown from a small insignificant pub- lication to a large, pretentious college year book. And so, to Mrs. Veta Lee Smith, we dedicate this, the 1958 Chief Justice — a symbol of her efforts and a tradition of our college.
