— Cartoon courtesy of Dr. E. J. Pace. ANOTHER PIED PIPER This is a day when science falsely so called (I Timothy 6:20) is attempting to destroy the faith of students in the Word of God. To combat the teaching of organic evolution as a fact, William Jennings Bryan fought his last fight; to bear high the torch that he lit is the aim of the University founded in his honor. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN THE COMMONER 1937 Published by the Senior Class of the William Jennings Bryan University Dayton, Tennessee COPYRIGHT, 1937 BY THE STAFF J 4 t Ul J Jf- - t£ £ s£ - t To Miss Julia Anna Yancey — a member of the first faculty, one who has shown her devotion to the school by her whole-hearted co-operation, one who epitomizes the Spirit of Bryan University — we, in grateful appreciation, dedicate this volume. — Class of ' 37. i3 r? rut eywM MR imv DR. GEORGE E. GUILLE First President Died November 19, 1931 FOREWORD Since the University started with Freshmen only in 1930 and added one class each year, the class of ' 37, which enrolled as freshmen in 1933, completed the first four-class student body. With the graduation of this class — the last class of the first student generation — it is fitting that we should pause to review the history of the school since its inception during the last days of Mr. Bryan ' s life to the present progress made in establishing a living memorial to the Great Commoner on beautiful Bryan Hill. To gi ve this brief review and to record some of the events of the 1936-37 term is the purpose of this book. Pictures of faculty members are arranged in order of seniority. The quotations are taken from addresses given by visiting chapel speakers. ' never knew a doctor or scientist who knew the Bible and rejected it — Dr. Howard A. Kelly 5 imv tms zvMW nsji tmi DR.

On Sunday, July 26, shortly after the close of the trial, Mr. Bryan quietly passed away at the home of the then mayor of Dayton, Dr. Richard Rogers.

Bryan Hill Shortly before his death, Mr. Bryan suggested that a fundamental, inter-denominational school be founded in Dayton. A nation-wide subscription campaign was begun, and the campus was located on a wooded hill overlooking Dayton. Ground was formally broken on the eighty-four-acre campus for the Administration Building on November 5, 1927, by the late Dr. John Roach Straton, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, New York.

ON LEAVING BRYAN When I think of how my Bryan days are done, A brief four years that vanished like a dream, And that one calling which is like a gleam Says, Onward! though my soul to leave does shun As birds do ere first flying or like one Who stops to rest before he cross a stream — Will Jesus lend me now His guiding beam? I need not ask. For since the Christ has run His bright course in this world, that Light not fails; Who follow Him shall not in darkness walk, But they shall have the shining Light of life. Whose face is that with fear and terror pales? Not, surely, one that with our Lord does talk. Lead on ! I follow Thee to win the strife ! — E. H. Reid. Live to give — Rev. Will Carroll 17 ' Eighty per cent, of the boys and girls in Sunday School are never evangelized — Rev. J. Irvin Overholtzer : ' A fc : First Academic Building Work on the main building being stopped by the depression, the administration voted to open classes in the vacant Rhea Central High School building. Academic work was launched on September 8, 1930, the opening service being held in the very courtroom in which Bryan won over Darrow. The Great Commoner scored another posthumous victory when the initial Bible class — in the Genesis account of creation — was held in the room where Scopes had taught Darwinian evolution. Members of the first faculty were Dr. George E. Guille, President; Prof. Malcolm Lockhart, Vice-President; Prof. F. W. Spindler, Dean; Prof. D. W. Ryther, Jr.; Prof. A. P. Bjerregaard; Miss Julia Anna Yan- cey, and Prof, and Mrs. C. A. Montoya.

Many variety programs were also given by the club, to the delight of all present. MEMBERS Lewis Llewellyn, President Glenn Klamm, Pres. pro tern.

On a pay-as-you-go basis and with the help of student labor, six rooms were enclosed on the ground floor that summer, and school was opened in our own property for the first time that fall. During the summer of 1936 another classroom was enclosed, and a large reading room was added to the 30,000-volume library; a steam heating plant was installed during the 1936-37 school year.
