OENIX YESTERDAY-TODAY-TOMORROW Cumberland was founded in 1842. Almost a century of distinguished service is the record of which Cumberland University is justly proud. No college of like size in the United States can boast of so great contributions to the nation as can this little Univer- sity located at Lebanon, Tenn. Nearly twenty-one thousand young men and young women have studied here. They have gone out to all parts of the world to enrich the lives of others. Cumberland graduates have taken leading parts in every phase of national life. Supreme Court justices, Senators, Congressmen, Governors, judges, ministers, and business men claim Cumberland as their Alma Mater. Cumberland ' s inestimable contributions and achievements can best be appreciated by a comparison with other schools. She has always lacked the material resources, endowment, and physical equipment of larger schools, but has carried on continuously in spite of these disadvantages. Cumberland ' s noble efforts in the cause of higher education is a rich heritage with which every graduate is endowed. September 10, 1930, marked the beginning of the eighty-ninth year of Cumberland ' s history. Space does not permit us to mention the plans, hopes, and ambitions that have been born on the campus this year. There are, however, some significant events and changes that have taken place during the year that will have an important bearing on Cumberland ' s future progress. Most important of all is the recognition of Cumber- land ' s scholastic status by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. This coveted honor came to the University on December 4, when she was placed on the approved and accredited list by a vote of the Commission of Higher Institutions of the association at its regular meeting at Atlanta, Ga. This will prove of great benefit to the University and students as well. Credits secured at Cumberland will be accepted in all the schools of the South. Cumberland ' s recognition and fame in the past has been due, in large part, to the high standards of her faculty. With the addition of several new members, the faculty this year has been unquestionably strengthened. For loyalty, efficiency, competence, and Christian ideals the faculty that we now have takes rank with those of much larger institutions. The high standards of scholarship of the Uni- versity ' s staff of instructors is her best recommendation. As proud as we are of our Alma Mater ' s record of service, our interest does not lie primarily in the advancement of the past, but rather in the program of service for the future. In June, 1927, the Trustees and Administrative Officers of Cumberland adopted plans for an expansion program which called tor the projection of a campaign with an ultimate objective of a million dollars. Since that time they have been working tire- lessly and unceasingly toward the success cf this undertaking. Men of vision, courage, and determination are directing the affairs at Cumberland. Their unquestioned loyalty and love for this old institution gives us every reason to believe that the future holds greater progress and advancement for Alma Mater. I ' ineteen hundred thirty-two will mark an epoch-making period of Cumberland University. It will be its ninetieth anniversary. Let every student and alumnus work toward the end that this celebration will mean the realization of dreams long cherished — A Greater Cumberland. 31 26
