Bryan College - Commoner Yearbook (Dayton, TN)

Text from Pages 1 - 56 of the 1940 volume:

I : - iS... : J rr ec The 1940 COMMONER Published by the Senior Class of the William Jennings Bryan University Dayton, Tennessee to DOCTOR HARRIS HIBBARD GREGG . . . whose weekly quiet meditations have been so eagerly anticipated, whose tender paternal interest has been so uncon- sciously manifested to all, whose simplicity of faith has been his greatness — the class of 1940 does with heartfelt gratitude dedicate this eighth volume of the COMMONER. FOREWORD . . . A decade . . . Long enough . . . to change the geography of a continent to gain a fortune — or lose one. Like Paul, we would not linger in the past, but the rather, press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. But yet — the past has its lessons for us. With this commencement Bryan University completes ten years of service. Trusting the unchanging God in a changing world, Bryan has learned, through depression and struggle, the walk of faith. We, who walk these corridors a short four years and then depart, have learned our lessons, too. There have been friendships; intriguing hours in classroom; quiet, moun- tain-top moments alone with God. A decade . . . This time, the one before us; only God knows what it holds in store. Let this book remind us, as we stand between yesterday and tomorrow, Except the Lord build a house, they labor in vain that build it. BOARD OF TRUSTEES Mr. F. E.

Much of the work has been pleasure; much of it, just plain hard work. The only reward for its labor that the staff hopes for is that this Commoner might be a fitting tribute to the first ten years of Bryan Univer- sity and a real challenge for its growth and development in the future.

The membership is divided into three groups for spe- cific preparation in the field of service anticipated for the future. A coun- cil including representatives from each division plans the activities of the association. Director Rev. A. J. Levengood, Pres. Faculty Representative Miss Julia Yancey, Treas. F. M. F.

A. who have not yet been definitely led to become either pastors or missionaries are united under the Lay Ambassadors to have Bible study and prayer fellowship with a view to the better understanding of God ' s will in each life.

To that challenge several students have already felt the Lord definitely calling to a particular field of service and have united to study mission problems, learn of missionary activities, and pray for various fields. Student Pastors ' Fellowship Young men anticipating full-time Christian service as pastors, evange- lists, and Bible teachers have banded together in the Student Pastors ' Fellow- ship, which has as its program the discussion of pastoral problems encoun- tered in the ministry and study of important Bible subjects.

Toliver Once a month the press clanks late into the night, stacks of Newsettes are folded, long rows of them filed according to states (44 are represented), nearly 6,000 tied in packages for mailing. Before this can happen, however, there is much work to be done by the Editor and the staff of the Newsette in preparing this paper to keep the sub- scribers and friends of the University informed of its activities. The Searchlight, making its appearance monthly, searches out and brings to light the activities, opinions, intrigues of Bryan students. Surpassing even the spiciness of its news columns and the scratchings and pryings of the enigmatic ' Chicken Little ' , the student editorials, with the results they achieved, have proved the worth whileness of the Searchlight.

Blackburn, D. Hirschy, Mr. Lynip, W. Oliff, W. Rahiser Instituted last year, the Men ' s and Women ' s Student Councils have proved their worth at self-government in the field of student social relations. In addition to a member selected by the students from each class, a member at large and a faculty advisor are selected for each council. The realm of jurisdiction of the councils includes intra-dormitory discipline. They also serve as mediators for constructive suggestions from students to the faculty.

Under the direction of Miss - Yancey, it has grown from a humble beginning to a fine brass choir including five trumpets, three trombones, a saxophone, and a baritone horn. As the directress stands poised before a score and ten eager young peo- ple, a surge of glorious music fills the auditorium. It is the University choir, now in its second year. A cantata was given at Easter time before, appreciative audiences. Later the choir rendered concerts of the magnificent choral works of the old masters. Choir Back Row: H. Kee, M. Lev- engood, S.

Not only did the Eastman Kodak Company send a series of helpful illustrated lectures, the T. V. A. bring a lake to our door to enhance the natural beauty, the weather man send us a glistening snow-storm, but the 1939-40 session brought also a number of camera enthusiasts to take advantage of the op- portunities. The personnel of the guartets may change from year to year, but their message never changes. It is always, Jesus Christ; the same yesterday, today, and forever. From the red hills of Georgia to the golden grain fields of Kansas and from the cotton fields of Alabama to the dairy lands of Minnesota, the Ladies ' Quartette travelled 7,000 miles last summer telling forth the message in song. The Male Quartet ' s tour of the northeast covered 11,000 miles in 11 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada. During the school year services have been held in jails and nearby churches. The University sent its Male quartet to a Christian Students ' Con- ference at John Brown University at Siloam Springs, Arkansas. This summer two ladies ' quartettes and the male quartet will wave fare- well to Bryan Hill as they set out again to carry over the country the change- less message of the unchanging Christ.

President Rudd A MEDITATION AND PRAYER By President Rudd As we pause on the threshold of the second decade of academic life for the William Jennings Bryan University, we are reminded that we do not know what even a single day may bring forth. Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off. We are certainly not ready to lay our armor down. There is st ill much land to possess. If the Lord will, we shall live, and we shall enlarge our coasts. In this world our Lord is far more concerned with the building of true Christian characters than with the construction of buildings — even memorial buildings. He is building our mansions over there. In building a University during the next ten years, as in the past ten years, our Lord will be chiefly occupied with building a spiritual house . There will be chastisement and testings, but we may be sure that it is He which worketh in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure. It is our part to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Lord, giant us thy blessings in the ten years to come as well as in the eternal ages. May we be a greater blessing in the lives of an increasing number of young people. Surely, with thy help, three to five hundred young peopie will not be too many for us ten years hence. If it please thee, may we build the full number of stories over the concrete foundations poured more than sn years ago, and may we have the needed supple- mentary buildings. May we enhance the natural beauty of our campus. May the right students and staff members be guided into our midst, but above all, may we be kept true to the faith as it is in our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. 39 M. SCHILD AND COMPANY Canners — Stearns Coal — Ice Cream — Milk Our Cream Is Served By F. E. Robinson And All Eating Places In Dayton Phone 3 Dayton, Tennessee Dayton Bank and Trust Co.

Prophecy Monthly To hustling modern readers, brevity of ex- pression is always appreciated for it never fatigues. Publications that do not waste a barrel of words to express a spoonful of thought are more and more popular. People like the downright facts in snappy sentences. Good readable type on convenient-size pages, unlittered with advertising, strongly appeal. PROPHECY MONTHLY with its rapid re- view of world events in the light of Biblical prophecy fills the bill. There ' s point and punch in every conviction-laden sentence. It ' s dynamic with information, revelation and inspiration. More arresting truth in a little space than you can find in a month of Sundays. YOU NEED IT. Sample copy Free. — $1 a year — AMERICAN PROPHETIC LEAGUE, Inc. Box BB, Sta. E.R., Los Angeles, Calif.
