Leading in the spiritual testimony and physical development of the University, he has been an inspiration to all who have known him. hielping to establish Bryan as a Christ- centered liberal arts college, he has shown that in his own life Christ is above all. Forming University policies and plan- ning forthe future, his wisdom, insight, and tireless energy have been evident to those who have worked with him. Living his life for the glory of God, his humility, kindness, and self-sacrifice have proved to us time and time again that he is a Christian gentleman. We consider it an honor to dedicate this 1954 COMMONER to another great comimoner. President Judson A. Rudd. 9 Z-. DEDICATION Mary Frances, President and Mrs. Rudd. With love and deep appreciation THE FIRST BAPTiST CHURCH. DAYTON, TENNESSEE sponsors these pages in honor of a faithfLjl servant of Christ, who has served his church as a deacon for more than 21 years. ••n,. And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men ; — Colossians 3:23. Through the media of words and pictures we of the COMMONER staff have set down that which we feel is typical of Bryan life. We feel that Bryan ' s spirit is embod- ied in the verse which we have chosen as the theme for this yearbook. No matter how minor the task, how trivial the position, Bryanites desire to do all heartily, as to the Lord. We have tried to emphasize the hands of your class- mates as they are engaged in the various phases of college life. It is only fitting, therefore, that we start with those hands placed on God ' s Word In an attitude of prayer — the first step in putting CHklST ABOVE ALL. ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ACTIVITIES SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS „, ' fe % ' f i£|| y ■CT, 17 730 Pil EDUCATION WITH A PLUS That man, said the president of a large university some years ago, can be put into the classroom to substitute for any teacher on my entire faculty — he is an educated man. And he went on to say that, were it Eng- lish, history, languages, or science, the man could still meet the need. Truly, that is education. But is it? Is education only the possession of knowledge and the ability io pass it on to others? Or is there something else, the plus of education? With all thy wisdom, writes Solomon, get understanding. Under- standing of what? Why, of God, for without understanding of hHim there can be no full understanding of the world He created nor of the people with which he populated it. Man, who is physical and mental, is also, and basical- ly, spiritual; and it is only through the plus of spiritual understanding that we can be educated to know others, indeed, to know ourselves. Then, there is the plus of usability. It is not enough to have knowledge; one must also be usable, hlis knowledge, his personality, his character must all work together to make him useful to society. This is usability — this, too, is a plus to education. And these two plusses, spiritual understanding and usability, are two of the many which make Bryan University an educational center, Bryan grad- uates educated leaders. oLJean oL). vU. l ,utker r k- ' y ' - S ADMINISTRATION JUDSON A.

Trailerville Is the solution to the problem which arose at the end of World War II when discharges from the armed forces began. Although many veterans were apply- ing for schooling, there were no living quarters on Bryan Hill suitable for housing their families. Thus Vetsville came into existence, and the married students were given the choice of renting a trailer from the University or living in their own. Because the problems were somewhat different from those of dormitory students, it was decided to elect a Mayor and two councllmen as a representative committee for handling any problems that might arise. As the veter- ans left and other married students took their places, the name Vetsville was changed to Trailerville. STUDENT WIVES ' BIBLE CLASS Front Row: Mrs. Francis. Mrs. Roberts. Mrs. Neddo.
