Charac- teristic of his profession, Mr. Williams is dili- gent, persistent and analytical, with college spirit which manifests itself in the various activities of our college life.

W. T. Mattox, A.B., A.M., B.D. Professor of Philosophy. 1918—A. B., A. C. C. 1920— A. M., Vanderbilt University. 1921— B. I)., Vanderbilt University. 1922— Professor of Philosophy, A. C. C. 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. %

Oh, ye who rend this hook, By alumni ever raised To penetrale each nook. 'Tis to thee, oh, A. C. C., Our gratitude we sing; High and low, in every key, And far and wide ' twill ring. For it tells of other days That each one spent with thee. 'Till we left thy halls, and ways, To journey o'er life's sea. A s the strains of music fall Upon the listening ear, Simple melodies appall With h esita t in g fea r. Com positions thus began. But as the days went by Harmonics much f uller ran With graduation nigh. Minor phrases found within Revealed our trials there. Progress was disclosed again By swift and stately air. When the final chord was reached ’Twas then we left thy hands. Tested, now, and tried is each In home and foreign la mis. In Alma Mater, our composer, We left thee unperfected. Are we winners now, or losers, Received, or rejected! Winners, yes, for some have touched The solus of women and men. You've exalted I if e for us And made us o'er again. Alma Maler, 'tis to thee Our homage now we give. Alma Mater, 'tis for thee Our love forever lives. —Gladys Foust, ’21. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii =i i iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniii
