DEDICATIO A little more love for the friendship of youth, A little more zeal for established truth, A little more charity in our views, A little less thirst for the daily news; And so we are folding our tents away And passing in silence at close of day; Thrice happy, then, if some soul can say, | live because of their help on the way. Bee Sar R. G. WELLS Ak INDELIBLE IMPRINT HAS BEEN LEFT UPON THE LIFE OF EACH ASBURY SEMINARIAN BY THE STERLING CHRISTIAN CHARACTER OF BOTH DR. AND MRS. MORRIS. DR. MORRIS HAS BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE SEMINARY FROM THE DAY OF ITS BIRTH IN 1923. MRS. MORRIS BECAME AN ALUMNA IN 1931 AND SINCE HAS GIVEN HERSELF IN UNTIRING SERVICE AS PROFESSOR OF OLD TESTAMENT. TO THESE BELOVED PROFESSORS WHOSE HUMBLE LIVES HAVE BEEN INSPIRING EXAMPLES OF LOYALTY AND DEVOTION TO CHRIST, WHOSE GRAND SENSE OF HUMOR AND SHEER LOVE OF HUMANITY HAVE MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANY- ONE EVER TO FORGET THEM, WE RESPECTFULLY DEDICATE THE NINETEEN FOR- TY-EIGHT SEMINARIAN WITH THE HOPE THAT THEY WILL CARRY ASBURY THEO- LOGICAL SEMINARY IN THEIR HEARTS AS WE CARRY THEM IN OURS.

PRESIDENT MCPHEETERS Dr. Julian C. McPheeters has proved himself to be a worthy successor to the founder and only previous President of Asbury Theological Seminary, Dr. H. C. Morrison. He, himself, has become a guiding spirit in the movement as he directs the tremendous expansion pro- gram of the Seminary. One of Dr. McPheeters' chief characteristics is the boundless energy with which he at- tacks the many problems that rest upon his shoulders. The intellectual and physical stam- ina required by his extensive range of activities and broad interests mark him as an excep- tional leader. Not only does he dispatch his duties as President of the Seminary with alac- rity, but, in addition, he pastors the Glide Memorial Methodist Church of San Francisco, is “Reothodtoa of the Glide Foundation, edits the PENTECOSTAL HERALD, end some- where finds time to be an author and radio mnister. Under his administration, Asbury Theo!ogical Seminary has raised her academic stand- ards until today she is a fully accredited member of the American Association of Theolog- ical Schools, and is approved by the University Senate of the Methodist Church. Yet the deeply spiritual emphasis is still as strong as ever. We pay tribute to this Christian leader, gentleman, scholar and understanding friend.
