The buildings on the Cumberland campus are but worthless hulks and the students are but grop- ing children — without a faculty. True, our world has been the astounded witness to the rise of myriad self-educated men. But these spectacles are now rare indeed. We all feel a need for a guiding hand through our education, and this hand is extended by the faculty. Only as they let the light from their torches of intellectual experience shine forth may we catch a glimpse of the far corners of the luxuriously decorated room of knowledge. However, we need as well those men who are organizers, co-ordinators, administrators men who can plan and map and chart our courses through the sylvan glades of thought. Theirs shall be the astrolabe, the compass, the sextant which will give the direction to our endeavors. It has been said that leaders and teachers only bring out in students that which is already there .... that their purpose is to mold these minds. We at Cumberland cannot see that this diminishes — nay — this is the highest of callings — to administer to the heart, the soul, the mind of Youth. 13

BOARD OF TRUSTEES Since 1951, Cumberland has been con- trolled by a self-perpetuating Board of Trus- tees composed of distinguished civic, business, professional, and educational leaders. These talented and generous men support and direct the activities of the College, which is a liberal- arts institution constituted solely for the pur- pose of imparting sound learning in an at- mosphere pervaded by the principles of Chris- tianity, good citizenship, and the love of free- dom. The Board of Trustees elects the Presi- dent of Cumberland College and appoints the faculty and staff members of the College.
