Your absolute loyalty to the institu- tion and your hearty response to her every worthy call has been deeply appreciated. Your mettle was well demonstrated on the morning of October 22 when , :yau pledged eight thousand dollars to Harding College. This keen sacrifice is a constant inspiration to me to push on in our campaign to finish paying for our plant by the close of 1939. Your further faithfulness in maintaining those high ideals of Christian manhood and womanhood for which Harding College stands is still more taeepiy appreciated It is for the sake of maintaining this wholesome Chris- tian environment in which our young people may in safety delve into the unlimited stores of knowledge available to the presant generation, thereby fitting themselves for the great business of living, that Harding must go and on.

77 7 PETIT JEAN W L. C. SEARS Ph. D. Dean of Administration The greatest asset Harding College has is not buildings, grounds, equip- ment, standing or faculty. Vital and necessary 05 OH these ore, still more essential are you young men and women who are her students. It is your ideals and personalities that largely determine the quality of the college environment and make it Iovely or repellent. It is from you thol future faculties will come, and it is from your influence that future enrollments and physical equipment will be increased. As one who through years of service loves The ideals of the school, I wont to express my deepest appreciation of all you who have contributed your share to making your Alma Mater what we want it to be, who have helped to create the spirit of loyalty, fairness, friendliness, courtesy and unselfish service which we know and love as the spirit of Harding. May you wear her name forever engraved within your hearts. L. C. SEARS, Dean of Administration.
