Hardin Simmons University - Bronco Yearbook (Abilene, TX)

Page 8 text:

 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----
