1 i n i n ! n n n s CHAIRMAN EDWARD POTTER, JR. One of fhe most rewarding experiences I have enjoyed in my lifetime has been my association with Cumberland University, an institution which has produced some of t he outstanding leaders of our nation. I am no educator, and I accepted this respon- sibility with reluctance as I felt that there are oth- ers more deserving and better equipped to fill a THE CHAIRMAN SPEAKS place on this board. As a business man, however, I know the value to my field of endeavor of well- trained minds and the development of character. I came in as a pinch-hitter because Cumberland University has hung on tenaciously to the educa- tional creed which has fostered the spirit of free enterprize. It has a character in itself well worth preserving. It follows that good schools produce people equipped with a good supply of factual informa- tion, ability to live and work with people of all types, potential capacity to apply these two fac- tors, sound reasoning ability, and a solid sense of values. All of these prerequisites Cumberland ful- fills, plus training in character building. It instills into the minds of its students an appreciation for the requirement of moral law as well as for statute laws, and implants in them the fact that one goes to school for the purpose of fitting himself for liv- ing up to the responsibilities of life. Cumberland University has been time-tried and tested, and can be judged by the products it has turned out. Cumberland alumni may well be proud of their Alma Mater, and the entire community should give this great institution its staunch sup- port. EDWARD POTTER, JR. I i E n n 1 W. J.
