I am no educator, and I accepted this responsi- bility with reluctance as I felt that there are others more deserving and better equipped to fill a 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 ot character. I came in as a pinch-hitter because Cumberland University has hung on tenaciously to the educational creed which has fostered the spirit of free enterprise. It has a character m it- self well worth preserving. It follows that good schools produce people equipped with a good supply of factual mforma- tion, ability to live and work with people ot all types, potential capacity to apply these two factors, sound reasoning ability, and a solid sense of values. All of these prerequisites Cumberland fulfills plus training in character-building. It instills into the minds of its students an apprecia- tion for the requirement of moral law as well as for statute laws, and implants in them the fact that one g oes to school for the purpose of fatting himself for living up to the responsibilities ol ' 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 support. r. t„ Edward Potter, Jr. 10
