WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN THE MEMORIAL Yes, a memorial, but not an inanimate, empty, useless one. It is entire- ly fitting that the implementation chosen to preserve the memory of Will- iam Jennings Bryan should be a Christ-centered college bearing his name. Even more appropriate is the location of the institution- -Dayton, Tennes- see --the town where Bryan had so resolutely defended the authority of the Bible. The idea was conceived by Bryan himself, for just preceding his death he suggested that a junior college for men be established on one of Dayton ' s scenic hills. A form of this suggestion became a reality in 1930. Recent years have seen increases in students, faculty, and facilities. Current plans include the construction of two new dormitories which will increase Bryan ' s assets still further. The first charter states this college was established for higher education Under auspices distinctly Christian and spiritual, as a testimony to the supreme glory of the Lord Jesus Christ, an d to the divine inspiration and infallibility of the Bible. Bryan ' s purpose, as phrased by its motto, is Christ Above All. Surely no one could desire a better memorial than an institution dedicated to this goal. ss I i ssss

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE MAN America ' s Crusading Commoner was born in Salem, Illinois, March 19, 1860. Since his father was a lawyer and very active in politics, it is only natural that William Jennings should follow in his footsteps. Bryan became active in the Democratic politics of Ne- braska. In the 1897 convention, he made his famous Cross of Gold speech over the gold-silver issue. This speech swung the presidential nomination to him on the fifth ballot. In 1900 and in 1908 he was again the unsuccessful presidential candidate for his party. Later times found him publishing a newspaper ( The Commoner ), making two world tours, and becoming a very successful, popular speaker. In the last decade of his life, Bryan devoted his energies to lecturing, writing, and support of the cause of national prohibition. The last chapter in his busy life was written in Dayton, Tennessee, where he was one of the six lawyers for the prosecution in the famed Monkey Trial . Five days after the close of the trial, Mr. Bryan died quietly in his sleep at the home of his Dayton host, F. R. Rogers, a pharmacist. Mr. Bryan was buried with military honors in Arlington National Cemetery.
