Special Recognition t0 B-W Grads Bob Beach 1r. ,50 For a long time to come, the name Robert A. Beach will be synonymous with Public Relations at Baldwin- Waliace College.n This statement is quoted from the Exponent which was put out shortly before Bob re- signed his position as Director of Public Information here this fall. We feel that his name is also synonymous with eam- pus publications for during his student days he served as Editor of both the Exponent and the Grindstone. As a member of the administration he was an adviser 0f the Grindsmne twice and has been a ready source of advice and encouragement in the infancy stages of this book. Some of his other activities as a student at B-W were president of Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity, and president of the Student Council. In 1949 he received the A. Fred Crossman Leadership Prize and was elected to ttths Who in American Colleges and Universities. With success as his password we know that Bob Beach is doing the very best work possible as Assistant to the President of Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio. Chuck Thomas 49 lf'a cheerful smile and a friendly Hi are characu teristic of the Baldwin-Wallace spirit, then Chuck Thomas may be Mister B-W himself. We have chosen him for special recognition for his outstanding record as a student and as a member of the administration. Serving as president of his fraternity, Lambda Chi Alpha, Greek Council, Interfraternity Board, and one of the dramatics groups are a few of the highlights of his college days. In recognition of his service he was awarded the A. Fred Crossman Leadership Prize in 1948 and elected twice to H'ths Who in American Colleges and Universities? On the administration he has served as Assistant Director of Admissions and is now holding the position of Executive Alumni Secretary. Chuckls future can only hold more noteworthy achievements. He will long be remembered as a special part of B-W.

Dedication publications: A History of the American Sunday School It is the tradition of yearbooks to be dedicated, and we, the staff of the 1957 Grindstone, have chosen to dedit cate this book to Dr. Frank Glenn Lankarcl, Dean of the College. Dean Lankard has occupied his most re- spected position on this campus since I950. He is widely recognized today as one of the countryls leading educators, authors, and public speakers with more than thirty years behind him in the field of higher education. It all began with his hrst teaching job in the field of religious education and biblical literature at the University of Chattanooga in 1922. In 1924 his doc- torate was completed on a research fellowship in Re- ligious Education at Northwestern University, and in 1925 he was made Assistant Professor of Biblical Lit- erature there. He answered the call for a full professor- ship at Drew University in 1929. Later, he was made Dean of Brothers College of Drew University and re- mained with them until he chose his present position here. As an author Dean Lankard is known for his majOI 10 Curriculum, Difficuilies in Reffgfous Thinking, The Bible and the Life and Ideals of the English Speaking People, The Wanted Generation, and The Bibie Speaks to 0m- Generation. Besides writing in the capacity of co-author for Still other publications, he has been a fre- quent contributor to educational and religious peri- odicals. The list of organizations to which he belongs and the ohioes he held in those organizations are much too numerous to list here, but to give an indication of his contribution to education you will find him listed in Whais Who in America, Whois Who in American Edu- cation, Who Knows, Who's Who in the Midwest, and more recently, he has been invited to appear in World Biography. We hope the years ahead will be as full and complete as these past for the Dean. And, may he always re- member us as he will be remembered by us and in this dedication.

I i Baldwin-Wallace College is a very fortunate small in- stitution in the fact that they are guided by such a com- petant administration. The cog that has really set this machinery into motion is a newcomer, President Alfred B. Bonds, Jr. Coming to Baldwin-Wallace only last January, he and his family have ht very naturally into campus life and its surroundings. The growth and improvement of our college has been the point of concentration of all his efforts. He has been very instrumental in furthering the progress of our new Ritter Library. His enthusiasm toward this subject is very easy to detect by just looking at the accompanying picture of President Bonds showing the plans of the new library to some of the members of the Board of Trustees. His presence has been inhuential in obtaining This picture is of Dr. Leehner, President Bonds, Mr. Wells, and Mr. Beehberger as they are seen in a Board of Trustees meeting. I lllu - I I mu 1 m dministration the substantial gifts that have been received in pursuit of the one million dollar goal. This building is only the first of many that have been planned by Dr. Bonds and the board. It is part of an expansion program to meet the increased enrollment and to improve the facilities already at hand. This is merely one of his many projects as Miss Edna Riegler, his secretary, can easily tell you. Another person who has been prominent in the chi- cient functioning of the Administration has been B. Howard Peake, aided by his secretary, Mrs. Virginia Wagner. Mr. Peake has served the college as assistant to the President for the past three years, and has been very helpful in acquainting Dr. Bonds to the Baldwin- Wallace way. Mr. Feake and Mrs. Wagner are reviewing the agenda of a full day which is in store for them.
