Webster ' s definition of the word dedicate reads to inscribe by way of a compliment , and with this definition we heartily agree. The dedication of this book is the highest compli- ment we of the SEMINOLE can bestow upon an individual, and being fully cognizant of this fact, the selection of the individual becomes more than a mere popularity con- test. With this in mind, we have dedicated this book to a man who embodies the theme of the entire SEMINOLE. In the relatively brief span of two years, Hugh Cunningham has be- come the advisor and friend of many students at the University of Florida. Two years ago he was appointed Executive Secretary of the Student Board of Publications. No athletic fields have been named after him, no buildings stand as a monument to his work, no statues have been erected; but as a professor in the College of Journalism and Communications and as Execu- tive Secretary of the Board, Hugh Cunningham has himself constructed a far greater memorial. There is perhaps no other member of the Uni- versity faculty who has contributed so freely or accomplished so much in the field of im- p roved student-administration relationships. Without this relationship no material gain or physical expansion can be considered progress. In his work on the Board of Publications, Cun- ningham has been an inspiration to students in the basement of the Florida Union. Every- Respectfully Dedicated to Hugh Cunningham thing that he has undertaken, everything that he has accomplished stands as a monument to his interest in students. It is not in our power to grant money, fame, or titles . . . and these, we know, would not be hollow rewards. But because he has so unself- ishly dedicated himself to the students of the University of Florida, we are proud to dedicate the 1957 SEMINOLE to Hugh Cunningham.
