A Tribute . . . e ' .:s.? ' Si !r.rs-.,.,.. :S -- H s p,ofesson TiOB« ' . carsoo ■lood to 300 years of service. The 1967 commencement exercises saw the end of professional careers for six of Athens College ' s renowned professors. The retiring professors collectively have devoted more than 300 years to the education field. Now as they begin new lives their influence will reach even farther. The faculty they are leaving and the students they have taught owe them a great debt. It is with sincere gratitude that we wish for them many more years as fruitful as the ones they have spent at Athens College. Dr. Richard W. Bryan earned his Ph.D. from New York University 50 years ago. He has been awarded membership in Who ' s Who in America and the Director of Scholars. At Ath- ens College since 1958, Dr. Bryan was instrumental in organizing the M.A. in Business Ad- ministration program. He and Mrs. Bryan will soon travel to Europe. Professor of Religion and Philosophy, Dr. A. E. Middlebrooks will move to Montgomery to pursue a planned program of resting and fishing. At Athens College 10 years, he has served as head of the Department of Philosophy and Religion. Dr. Middlebrooks also has served a number of pastorates in Alabama and Florida Methodist Churches. Miss Hallie Carson worked as head librarian at AC for 10 years. She will return to her home in Bristol, Virginia. Her time will be used to reestablish old friendships and for pleasure reading — especially Gothic romances and detective stories. Dr. S. L. Greenwood and Mrs. Greenwood left Athens bound for Chicago. The Professor of Foreign Languages has a fluent command of some eight languages so he and his wife will meet few barriers as they travel through Europe this summer. Dr. Greenwood is a 7-year vet- eran at Athens College. Dr. Herbert L. Hughes has been a college professor for 57 years. He is listed in Who ' s Who in American Education, and this English professor ' s pet project is a study of the origin of his native language. He has for years been a leading figure in Sigma Tau Delta, professional Eng- lish fraternity, and has established a number of chapters on different college campuses. Athens College ' s authority on Shakespeare, Miss Florence Steward, will live in Athens ex- cept for occasional tours to Europe. She will continue her study of anthropology during her travels and plans to again string her valuable violin which she plays for pure pleasure. 23
