DEDICATION More than a half century ago the fires of ambition and consecration liurned in the hearts of a comparatively small group of devout men and women. They had visions of the coming years when education would be the determining factor in the trends of our nation. The church so far was the agency of evangelism and the means of inspiration, Ijut little progress had been made in education. The question, then, was vhat part the church should play in higher education. How else could the prin- ciples of religious thinking be established than on the campus of a Christian college? Following the gleam and guided l.)y Pro idence, these Christian leaders arose in faith, and out of self-denial, toil, and sacrifice, founded and built Elon College. Dedicated to sound scholarship. Christian teaching, moral liN ' ing, honest dealing — all of which build strong, stalwart Christian character — our CioUege has labored through the )ears, bearing bright fruits in the field of C hristian higher education. We, the Class of 1954, catching a glimpse of their heroic labors, sharing in a measure the fruits of their righteous lives, and being reminded of the high principles upon which the College was founded, humbly and gladly dedicate our Annual to the courageous founders of Elon College, our College, and the high principles on which it stands.
