HOENIX ADMINISTRATION Loyalty, efficiency, and vision — these three words describe Cumberland ' s administra- tion and those who direct and execute its policies. At the head of the University is a man to whom these three words particularly apply. The loyalty of Dr. Ernest L. Stockton has been indelibly imbedded during his long and varied connection with this institution, as a student, as head of the English department, as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and now as President. The progress of the school during the four years he has directed its course is an eloquent tribute to his efficiency. And the Endowment Drive which President Stockton is directing, more sure of success than ever before, which will fulfill his ambition of bringing Cumberland to her own, bespeaks the vision he has for the institution whose future he holds closest to his heart. To the University Secretary, Andrew Jackson Cash, is assigned the challenging task of financing the activities of the University through its most pressing era of hard times. The task, thankless and discouraging as it is, has been attacked with vigor, and his success should win the admiration of the most critical. Perhaps the most loyal of Cumberland alumni is Charles R. Williamson, President of the Alumni Association, who moved into the administrative offices this year that he might devote his full time and effort to the endowment drive. Besides awarding the Williamson Scholarship and sponsoring the Williamson Oratorical Contest, as well as contributing liberally to the drive himself, Mr. Williamson has always shown himself to be a loyal son of his Alma Mater through his influence and administrative ability. Robert W. Adams, Alumni Secretary, has received wide commendation from the alumni for the effective way he has edited The Alummis since he was elected last year. Combining journalistic ability with a keen insight into what it takes to make an alumni magazine what it should be, he is producing a monthly pericdical of which Cumberland and her graduates may justly be proud. Judge William R. Chambers, venerable Dean of the Law School, continues to com- mand the admiration of the future barristers under his supervision, both as professor and administrator. And Prof. Will D. Young, who, like President Stockton, has stepped from the student ranks to a professorship and then to the position as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, has proved that he can conduct a college as well as he can teach history. The others connected with the administrative offices — Registrar Thomas E. Bryant, Miss Sarah Hardison, Miss Aileen Ccok, and the secretaries to the Deans and Regis- trar — all deserve commendation for their service. If students and alumni will combine their loyalty with the loyalty and efficiency of the administration, the realization of the vision of our Prexy is assured. 31 17
