Mr. Mattox is one of the latest additions to the College Faculty. He is a true product of Atlantic Christian College. His favorite words are “think” and “reason;” his slogan is, “Do not be afraid to doubt.” The College is very fortunate in having a man of his caliber. The Department of Philosophy has already shown great progress under Mr. Mattox. The true, genuine influence that he exerts will soon make this phase of the work an outstanding course in college. I X i r S. Lee Sadler, A.B., M.A. Head of Department of Social Science. Graduate of A. C. C., 1917; graduate student of Vanderbilt, 191,8.; Principal of A. C. C. High School, 1918-1919; Vanderbilt, M. A., 1919- 1920; present position since 1920. Mr. Sadler wins the love of all the students. He has a pleasing personality, an open mind, and strong convictions. He is a man of vision, and has an abiding faith in God. Mr. Sadler is still young, and we feel sure that, his best and most brilliant days are yet to come. In our estimation, someone may fill his space at A. C. C., but no one can take his place in our hearts. %

C., 1904-1921; 1922- “Miss Fannie,” who has been Professor of Mathematics at A. C. C. since 1904, is also Dean of the Girls this year. She does not feel at home at any place other than the “math” classroom and the halls of A. C. C. Even though she is always peeping to see if there is a boy wherever she sees a girl, all of us love her. She is a woman of quiet dignity, and she always has the interest of the girls at heart. “Miss Fannie” has a wonderful way of showing her interest in us, and is a real friend to all who know her at A. C. C. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH -I 1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM
