Hardin Simmons University - Bronco Yearbook (Abilene, TX)

 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.
