The spokes are the administra- tion, the faculty, the students, the academic program, the industries, and the social ac- tivities, the axle is the principle of service, hoth to Cod and man, around which all else revolves, the perimeter is the purpose in- stilled within the students which motivates them to prepare to he good citizens and Iahorers in this life on earth, and also in the everlasting life to come, and the huh is made up of the religious values which provide halance and equilibrium for the en- tire wheel, and are the core of the progress of Oakwood. Zigfsx X cibecbca lion uThe purest treasure mortal times afford is spotless reputation, that away men are but gilded loam or painted clayf'-Shakespeare Good reputation justly earned is the most valuable asset any person can have. The combined efforts of Dr. and Mrs. O. B. Edwards, in properly seeking to guide those who come to Oakwood for training, have gained for them an invaluable reputation of being truly dedicated to the cause of God. We can readily see that the task of advising, instructing, and en- couraging students is not an easy one, and only such a consecrated team as Dr. and Mrs. Edwards could accomplish such a momentous assignment. Were we to eulogize each noble virtue and accomplishment of those to whom we dedicate this book, our trihutes would be ceaseless and our present manuscript would be endless. The love and cheerfulness which have emanated from our Dean and Registrar as they have carried on their work among us, has given us the cheer in our hearts that makes it both a privilege and an honor to dedi- cate this sixtieth anniversary souvenir yearbook to such a distinctive couple. It is our sincere hope that the inspiring lives of Dr. and Mrs. Edwards will continue to he a part of Oakwood's WHEEL OF PROGRESS. V ,ku .. XV.

Therewith to be contenti' as a con- trolling philosophy can be soothing in situations impossible or unnecessary to change. But contentment has its limitations, satisfac- tion, its drawbacks. A great inventor said, 'cShow me a completely satisfied man and I will show you a failure! It takes a man with a dissatisfiedmind to dare, to discover, and to design. Dissatisfied men build birds that race the sun, spanning con- tinents and oceans in mere hours. Dissatisfied people constantly reach out and up for something better, stronger, more beautiful, useful and en- during. Dissatisfaction etched skyscrapers against the evening sky, swung bridges above rivers, and grew electric eyes and brains. Discontent with the past has made our modern age the marvel of all time. Oakwood College salutes its 1955-56 students who were dissatisfied with ignorance and mean accomplishment, who were discontented with any- 'thing but the best, who strove for progress in culture, in mentality, in spiritual power, in cleanli- ness, honor, and attainment. May this Sixtieth An- niversary Acorri be to all readers both a record of the past and a challenge to the future! Garland J.

EDWARDS Registrar Work In The Office Of The Registrar 1 96 le 7906 C-Elfiit 6L Q ln the autumn of 1895, at the regular biannual session of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, held in Battle Creek, Michigan, the unanimous decision was reached that there should be established an In- dustrial Training School in the South for the purpose of training Negro Seventh-day Adventist young people. Accordingly, a committee was selected to purchase suitable property, and they found a site about five miles from the city of Huntsville, Alabama, and purchased the 360 acre farm for the sum of 3B6,700. . The school opened November 16, 1896, with twenty students. The original sixteen were Frank Brice, George Graham, Ella Grimes, Robert Hancock, Etta Littlejolm, Mary McBee, Nannie McNeal, Charles Morford, Thomas Murphy, Lela Peck, Daisy Pollard, Grant Royston, Samuel J. Thomas, Frances Wortllington, and Harry Pollard. There were four buildings on the campus in 1896, among which was Old Mansion. The courses offered were grammar school and a special course in Religion. During the next ten years of steady progress, a new barn was built, Chapel Hall was erected for use as a boy,s dormitory and classrooms, and Sunnyside, a teacher's cottage, came into being, so that by 1905 the property was valued at 315,431 These improvement served to draw new students so that by the fall of 1905 seventy-one were enrolled. , .4 Q of 1 -wt .- 1 22,4 1 A941 gf: 'SV 'f 5 , Q- ' Tiff gl . The division of Education and Psychology sets in motion the WHEEL of academic instruction NATELKKA E. BURRELL Education Head of Department The preparation of teachers and instructors to serve in the work of God as trainers of elementary and academy young people is the burden and pur- pose of the division of Education and Psychology. Education does not mean teaching people to know what they do not knowz, it means teaching them to behave as they do not behave, and those who serve on the staff of this department seek to instill with- in those who are the teachers of Tomorrow such fundamentals and principles as will aid them in their work of inspiring children and youth to uhehave as they do not behave.

Blake became the sixth principal in 1906, and he served in that capacity until 1911. On October 11, 1906, fire destroyed Chapel Hall. In that same year such industries as carpet-weaving, poultry raising, and shoe cobbling came into being. Also Oaklawn, a residence for principals, was built. In 1907, the first cement block structure, which was used as an administration build- ing, was constructed. Butler Hall replaced Chapel Hall in 1903, followed by the sanitarium building in 1909. Professor C. J. Boyd became the seventh principal in 1911. Under his leadership the school continued to progress. A two story orphanage was erected in 1912. In 1914, the Pines, a duplex apartment for faculty mem- bers was constructed. A print shop and Henderson Hall were built during the same year. The new laundry, garage, barn, silo, wagon house, and cannery were to improve the industrial development. From its humble beginning Cod prospered the School of the Oaks, within whose walls have been trained some of the world's greatest men. +14- 355- mmnnnuwi fi-in-usa X i nw X Nrflnldgf -his-arf As the student W becomes proficient in oral and written English, V 0 ur WHEEL of learning slowly gains momentum. . n ,.,.., The solution to many of the ills and prob- lems that exist in our turbulent world today can he found in the mutual understanding between man and man of each other's back- ground, culture, and-way of life, as well as the effective expression of one's own inner thoughts and feeling.

In 1916 as a garage was erected just south of Old Mansion in addition to a barn, a silo, a wagon house, and a cannery. About this time representatives from the State Department of Edu- cation visited Oakwood for the second time. Although they found the Oakwood faculty conducting a good school, they recommended in their report that the industrial program be organized to correlate with the academy classes. Succeeding Professor Boyd as principal was Professor Beardsley who was appointed as the first president. Under his leadership the school ac- quired 12 concrete cisterns and a pump, a potato house in 1918, and two teachers' cottages in 1920 and 1923 respectively. The year 1922 was a success, for the student enrollment was en- larged, the faculty increased, and more books were added to the library, and the valuation of the property went up 1,000 percent. In the first half of 1926 a normal building and store were erected. In the midst of this construction program the dining hall was destroyed by fire. The General Conference voted a liberal appropriation of 315,000 and a 332,000 building was erected. This housed not only the dining hall and kitchen, but a 40 room girl,s dormitory which was named Irwin Hall. ffww, ., NA is 6 X f ,,.f,,fMQ4M,pQN'WQX K W . Q gg f,Ik43,-.wg , 1- Q f V4 , 1 v ' .

Tucker was serving as the second president of Oakwood Jr. College. Fire visited the campus a second time when it destroyed the dining hall in 1926 at a loss of 314,000 To take its place, Irwin Hall, named for one of the founders of the school, was constructed. This building be- came the girl's dormitory and- dining hall. Other improvements that came during the fourth decade were the students cottage built in 1928, the improvement of the dairy in the same year, and the erection of the circular reservoir in 1930. The increase in enrollment each year made a new building for classes necessary. To raise the funds needed to meet the part of the debt that the school was to reach, the Alabama Singers, a group consisting of male voices, toured a number of states. The young women did their part by selling pictorial copies of the Acorn in many cities. As the 6'WHEELS of progress turned, evidences of God's pleasure were seen in the way that he blessed the school. f ' fl- '?'7f'WfILf2 ' My gay?

REYNOLDS Biology The main purpose of true education is to point man's mind to his Creator, and through the Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics this aim is effectively realized. As the student is acquainted with the facets of animal and plant life, with the study of theirfstructure and function, his eyes are opened to the wonders of created organisms, the composition and chemical changes of substances afford the student with an inexhaustable field of study, the relationship between objects and the necessary laws by which they may be correlated and compared bring about the realization of the magnitude of the Infinite as compared with the dwarfed insignificance of humanity, and the study of matter and motion further illustrates the marvels of Godis created works. Thus the field of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics ful- fill the requirements of the purpose of this Division, broadening and developing the intellect as well as ennobling the spiritual powers with a deeper reverence for the Divine.

A Ln. eocia .Shience The study of man's relation to his physical background, the study of man's relation to the past, and the study of man's relation to his fellowman are the sum and substance of the courses of the Division of Social Sciences, History, Geography, and Sociology. As the student learns of the factors which arise out of geographic conditions, he can better know how to relate himself to his surroundings. Studying the past leads to a knowledge of how to relate oneself to the futureg and the study of man from the social standpoint provides a better understanding and relationship between individuals. ADMINISTRATIUN BUILDING 79 6 .758 1956 xii' 6L Q At the beginning of this decade, as Oakwood stood facing the horizon of the future with fifty years of growth and progress inscribed upon the pages of its past, the hand of God was destined to write even more signifi- cant signs of development within its archives. The following accomplishments have been realized in this decade: Cunningham Hall, a dormitory housing one hundred forty-four college women and the college cafeteria, a laundry and dry cleaning plant, a broom factory housed in the Industrial Arts Building, a sewage disposal plant at a cost of seven hundred fifty-five thousand dollars, the W. H. Green Memorial Library, the H. E. Ford Science Hall, a central heating plant, twelve homes for the faculty, and a new two hundred eighty thousand dollar dormitory, housing two hundred college and academy young men. At present a gymnasium-parvilen is under construction. Total enroll- ment now is over four hundred, a tremendous gain as compared with the original sixteen students. As we visualize our hopes for the future, we look forward to the continuous advancement of Oakwood, knowing that it is God's purpose and design that our VVheel of Progressi' draw nearer to its goal of Divine perfection. ff .Z . gr '-1 i ' ' fm, EVM .HA M '?uq,,. The ultimate realization of the goal to which our WHEEL is steadily moving will come about through the practical knowledge and application of the courses offered in this division. ELDER C. T. RICHARDS Chairman of Division Man's inability to grasp those things Infinite is partially responsible in a degree for his sinful state and the chaotic condition of the world. Thus the fields of Religion and Theology are essential tools in the edu- cating of young men and women. This division assumes the responsibility of training students in the importance of the Bible, of presenting the Life and Teachings of Christ as the perfect example of daily living, and of the preparation of ministers and workers to acquaint the world with the truths of salvation. The preparation and delivery of sermons and the pursual of studies in Biblical languages further enables those majoring in this division to do the work for which they have been chosen. As the student seeks to incorporate in his thinking these principles, he realizes more fully that he is attaining his quest for beneficial knowl- edge in the study of spiritual things. ELDER E. E.

To those engaged in the 'anicest work as co-laborers with the Master Teacher in the education of our youth, these satisfactions may he experienced to no little degree. During this Sixtieth Anniversary Convocation of Oakwood College, the Academy Administration is deeply grateful to God for His superintendence in the affairs of our institution and for the consecrated men and women who in past years have made significant contributions toward the advance- ment of Oakwood College. Moreover, we should like to express sincere ap- preciation for friends, and loyal parents and patrons who have supported Oakwood College through years of prosperity and adversity. As we salute the graduates of 1956, we praise God for His henediction upon our humble endeavors to guide our youth according to the Divine Blueprint. As the Prophet of old, well may we exclaim, Hitherto has the Lord helped us. 92 UI. JOHN J.
