ALMA MATER Columbia, Alma Mater Thy name we would adorn With filial devotion Of veneration born. In land of golden jasmine And fair magnolia white Thy tow rs are pointing upward Toward God and heaven and light. Of rare and costly marble Thy walls were never reared. But sons and daughters noble To whom His grace appeared. Have ever been thy bulwarks, Thy rare adornment, too, Columbia Bible College. Our Alma Mater true. The vision thou hast given Of truth and human need Inspires us all to service To sow the Precious Seed. May we in consecration To Jesus Christ alone. Fulfill thy sacred purpose To know and make Him known. Evangeline B, Kimber, ' 29-T, TT Wim

Because of Kis example of victorious Cfiristian living, The class of ' 43 gratefully dedicates this booK to Dr. H. Waddel! Pratt. W ' v also thank fiim for writing this account of his lilt ' , unaware of the purpose for which it was to he used; I was born in Lexington, Virginia, in the Presliyterian manse, September 7, 1873. Before I was one year old, my family moved to Kentucky where I lived till I went to Washington and Lee University at sixteen years of age. There I took my B.A. degree in four years and my M.A. in five. On graduating as M.A. 1 was elected physical director and served for four years. In 1898 I entered Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Virginia, and remained three years, being called to the Old Street Churcb in Petersburg at the end of my third year. 1 was pastor there for three years, leaving to accept the pastorate of the Second Presbyteriari Church, Washington, D. C now called The Church of the Pilgrims. From Washington, I went to Abbeville, S. C to labor for nearly ten years. During 1920 1 travelled over Georgia trying to secure the interest of Presbyterians in Columbia Theological Seminary. In 1921 1 was made secretary of the South Carolina Presbyterian Million Dollar Educational Campaign. This position I held till I was called to act as professor of Greek and New Testament exegesis for one year in Co- lumbia Theological Seminary, becoming in 1927-28 pro- fessor of Philosopliy in Chicora College for Women. Af- ter this college was dissolved, Columbia Bible College elected me professor of Philosophy in 1931, where 1 have served since. Washington and Lee University conferred on me the degree of D.D. in 1922. For twenty-seven years 1 was stated clerk of South Carolina Presbytery, and for eighteen years stated clerk of the Synod of South Carolina. I was honorably retired by the Presbyterian Church in the United States on October 1, 1941.
