z IT tUlt BE l MB ZL X PROF. ERNEST LOONEY STOCKTON Cumberland University has been exceedingly fortunate this year in having as her leader Acting President Ernest Looney Stockton. Stock, as he is familiarly known about the cam- pus, took over the reigns of the administration, a hard job, at a critical time, and he has shown his remarkable ability as an exec- utive in the success he has achieved in that capacity. Faced at the outset with the loss of President Harris, Professor Stockton has carried on the policies formulated by his predecessor with precision and smoothness and without disruption. Acting President Stockton comes to us from the ranks as a student, a professor, and a Dean, endowed with a blazing spirit to promote the welfare of his Alma Mater. Few universities can boast a President so universally popular both among the faculty and the students of the institution. Due to his long and varied experience in the University, Professor Stockton is well qualified to understand and appreciate the problems and difficulties that face each of its members. His policy of impartiality and fair- mindedness has won the confidence and admiration of all depart- ments. During his short service in the capacity of Acting President many new plans for the expansion of the University have been adopted, and scholastic requirements have been raised to a plane that will bring recognition throughout the educational world. Sincerity of purpose and the welfare of his Alma Mater have characterized his every effort, and Cumberland University has enjoyed rapid progress under his direction. He has proved that no person is more deserving of that rich old American title, A Gefitleman and a Scholar. IR , a TTpMiiMM
