Cumberland University - Phoenix Yearbook (Lebanon, TN)

Page 10 text:

HE Phoenix is the annual publication edited by the students of Cumberland University. Primarily this book is a reminiscence of the days and years spent within the walls of Old Cumberland and within the confines of dear Old Lebanon. If it fulfills that mission it has accomplished that for which it was designed. Read it, fellov student, and cherish it not as art nor as liter- ature but as a souvenir of college days. We have tried to represent in picture and in story every department and phase of life as we live it while here. This must include mainly work, but it cannot ignore our social intercourse, our relig- ious association, and our athletic combats. We are privileged to portray one of the most successful years in all the illustrious history of Cumberland University. The attendance is unusually large and the student body ranks high in intellect and in moral standing. Twice the illustri- ous sons of Cumberland met Vanderbilt upon the basket ball floor and twice was Vandy stung. As spring approaches it is evident that we have the finest prospects in our history for baseball. Hence we chronicle a year of unprecedented hap- piness among the students, alumni and friends of Old Cum- berland. We do not ask you to examine the merits of the book (or its lack of merit) but we ask you to gaze upon it and review it as a memento of bygone days which nothing else can so easily and truly recall. Our work is done, whether well or poorly, our readers must decide. And now we send upon its mission another volume of The Phcenix. Seven other members of this Phoenix family are already in existence and we plead for this one the same warm reception which has been awarded its predecessors.

mgs When time, with gentle hand, shall weave Her silken veil around the past; Our college days shall longest cleave, And fade from memories page the last. What joys between thy covers rest, Dear book; what smiles and gentle tears: — Th} every page how richly blest With stored up bhss for future years.
