EX LIBRIS AUTOGRAPHS Volume 44 Cover by American Beauty Cover Company Printed by Abilene Printing and Stationery Company Photography by Thurman's Studio Engraving by News Engraving Company Binding by H. V. Chapman and Sons No other two people have identified themselves more completely with Hardin-Sim- mons University during the years than have these two. Obtaining their first degrees here in 1912, they have served the school in various capacities continuously since 1917. Both true scholars, they have continued their work at various times in such institutions as the University of Texas, the University of Chicago, and McGill University, Montreal. Through his history of THE LONE STAR STATE, and their extensive contributions to the lore of the southwest, they have become widely known and are included among those honored with membership in Who’s Who in Amer- ica, and Who’s Who in the South and Southwest. Hardin-Simmons has had fine presidents in the past, presidents who are remem- bered with respect. But we, the students of this generation who have seen their capable leadership through the lean years of war and the perilous pangs of extensive growth, know that no one has contributed more to the present and to the future of our beloved school than have PAULINE MAYES RICHARDSON, M. A. RUPERT NORVAL RICHARDSON, Ph. D., Litt. D. To two who have dedicated themselves to us, we gratefully dedicate the 1951 BRONCO. Fottwo vt 0 + THIS IS YOUR 1951 BRONCO_ Your first action will most probably be that of finding your picture — then your friends’. After that, you will skim though the sections that particularly interest you. Then you will give the entire book some scanned attention. Then what? .... Will it find a place on the shelves with your finished textbooks—never to be looked at again? Will it be discarded entirely? Or, will you be one of those few persons who considers his an- nual a distinct part of his college career and a medium through which he can recall the people, good times, and work connected with it? We sincerely hope you will be one of the latter. . . . Quite frankly, this BRONCO is not just what we had hoped to publish .... but, we are not apologizing because it isn’t. With all the money that could be reasonably spent, the facilities, and time available, that little dream would have been an impossibiliy. We too, would have liked to have had colored pictures, extensive coverage of all the spring activities, and something of special interest to each individual student. But, with deadlines early in the semester, that, too, would have been impossible .... This is your BRONCO. We want it to represent, even if only in a sketchy manner, your 1950-1951 year in Hardin- Simmons University. We want it to typify the people and organizations and life of this University. We want it to represent you .... And so, with your permission, may we present ----The 1951 BRONCO---- C0Kfott X. yvivt'l'Srty X, Pewoiltw EC. (Lc lvbfclt TSL S tctdu wvt Once again we greet the students of Hardin-Simmons through the pages of the Bronco. The Bronco is the oldest publication of this Univer- sity that has been published continuously. Since the first issue in 1908, only one number, that for the war year 1918, Tt recorded college life in the early nineteen hundreds, when the boys strutted about in peg-top trousers and the pi-rls wore collars that sawed their chins. It told of Sim- mons during the garish twenties, the age of tree-sittings, and yo-yoing, and Every day in every way I am getting better and better. It pictured the lean thirties; the exciting days after Pearl ©arbor; and the years of great growth. Now, as we prepare to dedicate our year book, men are leaving again for the armed forces. This Bronco belongs to the students of this generation. Let us keep it as a memento of golden college years and a token of the enduring spirit of Hardin-Simmons University. To these we love, we respectfully set aside this portion of the Bronco. Mrs. C. M. Caldwell—who with her husband gave to Hardin-Simmons one of its finest buildings, helped enrich its tradition, and endowed it with the loyal patrons who are their children. The majority of her good works are known but to herself and to God. Mrs. A. L. Wasson—wife of a prominent West Texan, who, with him, has richly endowed Hardin-Simmons University, as well as Baptist Institutions from Mrs. J. D. Sandefer—wife of the president of this institution for thirty- one years. If you would see their monument, look around you.” Mr. L. Dale Witcher—though conected with the University for only a brief while, he enriched it through his wholesome outlook and sportsmanlike con- duct both on the campus and the field of sports. Proverbs 31: Who can find a virtuous woman; for her price is far above rubies .... MRS. A. L. WASSON .... She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come .... MRS. J. D. SANDEFER .... Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let her works praise her in the gates .... HARDIN-SIMMONS ANTHEM Hardin-Simmons, hail to thee, for famous are thy halls; Long may thy worth increase, long live thy noble cause. Great are thy victories o’er land and over sea; Fair daughter of the west, we love and honor thee. Hardin-Simmons! loud we sing: O let thy music ring; Our hearts are filled with joy, of thee we gladly sing. More charming is thy name than all our childhood scenes; Thy welkins, sweet and fair, inspire our joyful themes. With voice, with heart and hand, we bring our gifts today; Thy sons and daughters live to serve thee true alway. So kind and true thou art—let duty be thy call; Give us thy noble heart; we love thee one and all. For freedom is thy might and victory thy song; We’ll raise thy banners high with purpose true and strong. The Purple and the Gold” lead on, lead on to victory. Styles R.

It is located in the heart of Texas, where ranching and agriculture are among the main interests in life. The school, the nickname of which is Cowboy, symbolizes the spirit of West Texas, particularly in its athletic teams and its bands. Bible and boots are the main factors at Hardin- Simmons. The University, a co-educational, liberal arts school, was founded here in 1891 by a group of West Texas cattlemen who belonged to the Sweetwater Baptist Association. More than 25,000 students from all 48 states, nine foreign countries and from every county in Texas have been trained in 33 different fields in a four-fold program to develop the student physically, intellectually, social and spiritually. From a modest beginning with $5,000 capital, and 16 acres of land, the school has grown into one of the top three Baptist Universities in the nation in enrollment and now boasts one of the most modern Texas educational plants with more than $5,000,000 resources.
