Dedication To Miss Edna Jenkins, alumna, trustee, and benefactor of West Virginia Wesleyan College, the 1951 Murmurmontis is lovingly dedicated. Miss Jenkins was graduated in 1902 from the West Virginia Conference Seminary, which in 1904 became West Virginia Wesleyan College, and has been a member of the Board of Trus- tees of West Virginia Wesleyan College since 1942. In 1950. Miss Jenkins, together with Dr. Thomas W. Haught. received the Alumni Award, in recognition of her outstanding loy- alty to her Alma Mater. The list of Miss Jenkins ' benefactions is long and impressive. Representative examples are the Home Economics Cottage (1942) . the new Moeller organ (1949), and the new Steinway Concert Grand piano (1950): but these are only examples, and represent in themselves no more than a small part of her frequent and gen erous contributions to West Virginia Wesleyan College. Each year Miss Jenkins assists a number of West Virginia Wesleyan College students, often as many as five or six. with their expenses, thus making it possible for them to continue their studies. Sometimes she sends more than the amount reported by the administration as needed, with the suggestion that the student concerned will be able to make good use of it. She even writes in June to inquire whether the students she assisted during the preceding year will need help the following year. She searches for good opportunities to invest in Christian education. Living modestly in the little town of Petro- leum, West Virginia, and expressing in her numerous benefactions a devotion to West Vir- ginia Wesleyan College as constant as the law of gravity, Miss Jenkins exemplifies beautifully the Christian ministry of giving — a type of min- istry as noble as any other, and all too rare among those who have been entrusted with wealth. She has learned from the Master readier that It is more blessed to give. It is the lifelong loyalty and perennial phil- anthropy il rare sotds like Miss Jenkins that make it possible tor Christian colleges to orig- inate, to develop, to survive, and to serve. We are already so deeply in her debt that we can never hope to do more than meet interest pay- ments by making the best possible use of her generous gifts. In grateful recognition of all that she has done, and will do, for us. and other students like us. we dedicate to her the 1951 Murmur- montis.
