m : : m To Our Beloved Professor EDWIN WALLACE McMULLEN Who has labored so earnestly and diligently for our interests, who loves and understands us, whose life as a Christian has been a constant reminder to the student body, of that ideal of man- hood for which Southern College stands, and whose un- tiring devotion to all that concerns the students, has left him in the memory of those who go out from the school not as a Professor merely, but as a loving brother and friend. This, the first volume of The Surf, is dedicated by the students, the Senior Class, as a token of their love and esteem.

Received State Teachers ' Certificate 1909. Professor McMullen fills a place today among us that none other can fill. For seven years he has labored with us, seeing all of us enter and leave. We feel that we owe more to him than any other connected with our school days, at Southern. He has lived daily a true, devoted life to Christ and there- by constraining others to follow him. His influence has been indelibly stamped upon the archives of our memory. His own character shapes the fortune of every man. We can never repay our dear Professor for his untiring devotion and efforts to make of us men and women. The least we can do is to dedicate to him the first annual. EDNA E. FUSSELL.
