MRS. WILLIAM L. WALKER Dean of Women B.A., Queens-Chicora College Who among us has not beheld the gracious man- ner and unassuming air of dignity so inborn as to be the very essence of her personaHty? Who has not known and felt her warm and sincere interest even in the minutest details in the careful preparation of young men and women for facing a new world? Few have seen her special delight in partaking of a toasted hamburger, or known that hidden musical talent. Varied have been her interests before arriving at Bible College. A Bible instructor, a city missionary, general secretary of Y. W. C. A., and last, but not least— a housewife and mother of four children: these have been experiences which help make for sym- pathetic understanding of each problem. Because of these things, and because of the con- stant, consistant, and convincing testimony of a con- secrated life, the 1947 Finial is dedicated to you, our beloved Dean of Women, Mrs. William L. Walker.

DEDICATION WRS. WILLIAM L WALKER Not merely in the words you say, Not merely in your deeds confessed, But in the most unconscious way- is Christ expressed. For me ' twas not the truth you taught. To you so clear, to me so dim. But when you came to me you brought— a sense of Him. And from your eyes He beckons me. And from your heart His love is shed, Till I lose sight of you and see- the Christ instead.

NEW DORMITORY Do not turn from this picture as uninteresting. There is a great story connected with it. The biggest adventure of faith in the way of ma- terial things that C. B. C. has entered into is the new dormitory and classroom building, which will cost more than $200,000.00. These solid concrete foundations are well able to carry the structural steel and the three-story and basement building. What we need is a sure foundation of prayer and faith. Thus far $16,000.00 has been provided. A very much needed assembly hall, classrooms, including a radio broadcasting room, and a book store will occupy the first floor, with women ' s dormitories on the second and third floors, accommodating 72 young women. An encouragement to pray in faith for the comple- tion of this building by September, 1947, is the remarkable double answer to prayer for the new dining room extension and kitchen im- provements: first, the finishing of the building in spite of many prob- lems of material and labor, and second, the provision of the total cost of $23,600.00 on the designated day. In this and in all of our needs, we can all say, in the words of the China Inland Mission motto; Hitherto hath the Lord helped, and The Lord will provide.
