t94E We have been privileged to dedicate the 1948 MURMUR- MONTIS to two of West Virginia Wesleyan ' s greatest benefactors, Mary Lowe West and the late Calvin A. West. Time ' s tides in their ceaseless ebb and flow have carried the College far from its early life and death struggles with the material aspects of existence. To the many distinguished administrators who have labored faithfully in its service belongs our gratitude for much of the success our Alma Mater has enjoyed. We are equally indebted to a small group of philanthropists whose interests in higher education hove centered on West Virginia Wesleyan. Their benefactions, together with the invaluable service rendered the College by capable administrators, have immeasurably ennobled the vision of Wesleyan ' s founders. It well behooves those of us in the College today, then, to know our benefactors — philanthropic and administrative — and, knowing them, give eternal thanks for their united interest in our beloved Alma Mater.
