Page 7 text:

Behind every individual achievement is a motivating force. Gall it inspiration, or foresight, or experience translated into ability, if you will. By virtue of our status in a college community, we have witnessed the invaluable influence of those whose training and insight enables them to nourish our aspirations for knowledge and success with an Hextra dimensioni' - ever encouraging, ever enlightening, occasionally reproving, now understanding, now urging , always guiding toward worthy endeavors. So often we, as students, tend to take for granted those who have had the most profound effect upon our lives, our teachers. Yet we cannot deny their contribution to our society by their devoted concern for humanity and their aptitude in molding tomor- rowis America. The 1957 TALISMAN seeks to recognize one who represents the highest in ideals and professional standards - Mrs. Mary Rice Greenfield. In the depression days of twenty-five years ago, a kindly middle-aged lady with an understanding twinkle in her eyes came to Friends University as dean of women. That was 1932. Ten years later, she returned to teaching her first love, English literature. Even today, in her part-time capacity, Professor Greenfield continues to impart wisdom and knowledge in quoting such phrases as 'fBut a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?', Her hair is silver now, and the college steps do seem steeper Y but the twinkle remains, a sign to all that here is warm interest, sincerity, and humility personified. Though hot a Quaker herself, Mrs. Greenfield exemplifies the basic tenets upon which Friends University was founded: respect for individual dignity, concern for human improvement , and devotion to Christian ethics in daily living. For she is teacher and student, counselor and friend. In the preparation of this yearbook, she has helped advise the staff, unaware as to who would be honored on this, page. Students of the past twenty-five years who fondly recall Hthe men'ry of those hoursi' would find that memories of Friends and memories of Mrs. Greenfield are intertwined. Respecting this quarter century of service to Friends University, and in tribute to one whose noble thoughts have inliuenced countless numbersthroughout the world, with the utmost pride and humblest sincerity, The 1957 TALISMAN is dedicated to you - Mrs. Mary Rice Greenfield.
