We are reminded also of those within our own immediate cir- cles who have made it possible for us to enlarge our under- standing and deepen our faith through an education under frankly Christian auspices. To those whose sacrifices have made this institution a reality — the Church and the community — and to those who have made our education possible — our parents, other relatives, and friends — this 1956 NOCATULA is grate- fully dedicated. OFFICERS OF THE ADVISORY BOARD: Right to left: Ralph W. Duggan, President; W. F. Whitaker, Vice-President; Charles W. Bellows, Secretary-Treasurer.

DR. LEROY A MAHTIN, President of Tennessee Wesleyan College. The effectiveness of the total program of an educational in- stitution depends upon several factors: competent adminis- tration, trained and dedicated faculty, and loyal and appre- ciative students and alumni. But competence, training, ded- ication, loyalty, and appreciation are weak without leadership with vision and courage and faith. Because Dr. LeRoy A. Mar- tin, President of Tennessee Wesleyan College possesses these qualities in unique measure, the College is now in the midst of both her finest and most challenging hour.
