z- ■ :s DR. JOHN ROYAL HARRIS We were deeply shocked and saddened upon our return to school last fall by the announcement of the death of our Presi- dent, Dr. John Royal Harris. During the administration of Dr. Harris, Cumberland University achieved its greatest growth and advancement. Though he was a man of national importance, one of the most prominent figures connected with prohibition work, a brilliant educator, and a great preacher, we feel that in his loss, as one of his contemporaries remarked when speaking at the time of his death, We have lost a friend. Busy as he was with the important problems of University administration and attending to various educational and religious activities, he would always take time to lend a sympathetic ear to the troubles and problems of the student. His interest in the University centered not only in it as an institution as a whole, but in each individual student. When darkness and gloom encompassed the school, when fire had destroyed one of our buildings, and other problems appeared which threatened complete destruction and disaster, he quoted the famous motto of his Alma Mater, E Cineribus Resurgo — from the ashes I arise — and immediately started on a campaign of rebuilding and reorganization that has placed us to-day at the threshold of the greatest era of development and expansion Cum- berland has ever known. A great leader, an able executive, a wise adviser, a true Chris- tian gentleman, firm in his convictions, never side-tracking, never flinching. Dr. Harris fought for the right regardless of criticism or other obstacles. His indomitable spirit will ever be an inspiration to those who follow him in the work he has begun. 20 t i - - . .
