Shannon Lebanon THE CHAIRMAN SPEAKS The most rewarding experience I have enjoyed in my lifetime has been my association with Cumberland University, an institution which has produced some of the outstanding leaders of our nation. I am no educator, and I accepted this respon- sibility 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, how- ever, I know the value to my field of endeavor of well-trained minds and the development of char- acter. I came in as a pinch-hitter because Cum- berland University has hung on tenaciously to the educational creed which has fostered the spirit of free enterprise. 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 ap- ply these two factors, 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 ap- preciation 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 fit- ting himself for living 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 en- tire community should give this great institution its staunch support. Edward Potter, Jr.

THE PHOENIX On behalf of the College of Law and its faculty we would like to express our warmest welcome back to the students of Cumberland University ' s Junior College. The College of Arts and Sciences is yours — yours in the sense that you are as much a part of it as the very foundation itself. Make your growth into the future part of its growth, your beliefs part of its beliefs, as you walk through its hallowed halls into a new world of wisdom and under- standing. As the literary world ' s immortal Tolstoy stated it, Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. CUMBERLAND UNIVERSITY

DEDICATION MISS SARA HARBISON Over the past century, Cumberland University ' s School of Law has had the honor of having on its faculty many brilliant individuals, outstanding in their fields of endeavor. One such individual is Miss Sara Hardison, professor of law, librarian. Miss Hardison was graduated from Cumberland in 1923 with an LLB, and assumed the position of librarian. During the past 34 years she has taught over 5,000 students the fundamentals of How to find the Law. It has been said that If Miss Sara cannot find the law on any subject, it probably doesn ' t exist. On behalf of the many alumni and students, we would like to express our warmest thanks for a job very well done. CUMBERLAND UNIVERSITY
