FOREWORD The editors of The Phoenix have depicted a chapter in the history of the university, which is the Cumberland of to-day. Your associations, ex- periences, and achievements are all a part of this chapter. As the years go by, perhaps yo u will find this volume as a nostalgic reminder of that chap- ter in your life and the life of the university. We have chosen to review concurrently the highlights of other chapters in Cumberland ' s history. Great is its heritage, for it has experienced both failure and success, despair and triumph, to a very marked degree. Through the many years there seems to have pervaded an indomitable spirit of men who were undaunted by failure, or even the ravages of war and strife. It is only paradoxical that this indomitable spirit would hve on in the hearts of many of its alumnae. It has been said that the greatness of a university is measured not in brick and stone, but in the stature and achievement of its alumnae. The long line of distinguished men and women of Cumberland have placed it among the great institutions of this country. Such is our heritage. The Cumberland of the future will be a measure of the greatness of this and succeeding generations of men and women who will honor it. Compliments FIRST FEDERAL SAVINGS LOAN
