Cumberland University - Phoenix Yearbook (Lebanon, TN)

FOREWORD Ours is a college of growth — a growth not of sprawling con- crete and brick — rather an inner growth of those of us who are Cumberland. Cumberland is not on architectural wasteland of faceless buildings, it is not a useless hulk of stone and steel. We have consecrated these halls with shouts of laughter and winces of sorrow. In these walls we have grown and learned and visited other lands and worlds in sleek ships of learning. Here we have felt the warm glow of fellowship and here we have loved. A part of that love and fellowship permeates the tradition which is Cumberland. We, the staff of the Phoenix, here attempt to hold an all- too-small mirror before these emotions in order that those who have experienced them may look back in years to come and laugh or perhaps weep. We hold forth for all to see this — the testament and record of a portion of our lives.
