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.

Contentment is a wonderful and sought-after condition of mind. 6'Contentment with godliness is great gain? 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. Millet 9
