G This tribute to our Alma Mater is a sincere token of our sentiment for a greater Auburn in the future. To think of the future is only fitting, but We pause to consider also our rich heritage of the past, and all of the traditions that have come down to us. As students of the present we heartily accept Auburn of the past, and present it to those who succeed us. We join in saying, Alma Mater, to thy many Sons of the future, those of the present send greetings. G f s iw X aw' it .xx . ' X 4 Q ' -.

CRENSHAW, WILMORE, DUNCAN THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE The executive affairs of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute were placed in the hands of an Administrative Committee when Dr. Bradford Knapp resigned. The Board of Trustees elected for this committee, which took charge on August 15, 1932, three outstanding members of the faculty, Dean John Wilmore of the School of Engineering, Director L. N. Duncan of the Extension Service, and Professor B. H. Crenshaw of the Department of Mathematics. The committee elected Dean Wil- more, chairman, Professor Crenshaw, vice-chairman, and Director Duncan, secretary. The committee also assigned specific duties to each member, although they have at all times worked as a unit and have received hearty and wholesome cooperation of the faculty and student body. V Each member of the committee began at Auburn as an instructor and has ad- vanced from this position to the top in his chosen profession. Dean Wilmore began in 1888, Professor Crenshaw in 1891, and Director Duncan in 1905. The three, when they assumed their additional duties, had been connected with the Alabama Polytechnic Institute a total of 112 years, and their period of service at the end of the sixty-first session totals 115. I They have performed faithfully, efficiently, intelligently, and courageously their additional duties without compensation other than the feeling and satisfaction of work well done. Students, faculty, alumni, and other citizens join in an expression of thanks and appreciation to them. PAGE TWENTY-THREE
