larly, mathematics. Newman's fnstattempt was at trigonome- try and, in his words, it was as new to me as space is to an ant. The linguistics of the subject overwhelmed him and his total lack of background in geometry and trig in high school made the situation seem hopeless. After talking to his professor Newman decided to hire a tutor. He spent six to seven hours a day with his tutor and trig had Newman so obsessed that he slept and dreamed and hated it with a passion that cannot be expressed. Finally the end of the semester came and Newman went to his classroom to check his final grade. Now this is probably one course that has more to do in my life than any other single course I have ever had, he once wrote. It may have been the most important event of my life. In life, Guy faced numer- ous obstacles, many of which would have deci- mated lesser people, but he overcame them all. Much ofHPU's greatness can be directly attributed to this great leader. Dr. Don Newbury, HPU president As Newman scanned the list of names, his heart sank when he reached his own. He had received an F - an F that, in his mind, marked more than the failure of a course, it marked the failure of his attempt to attend the university. His loneliness, shame and the forlorn feeling that accompanies such a dis- appointment affected his attitude for the rest of the day. However after many tears and much soul searching that night, Newman experienced a new fortitude and strength. It was at this point that he realized that he had God's help to rely on and in His own way the Lord had provided Newman with the means to gain the discipline he had sought for so long. Such discipline would help Newman as he took over the presidency of Howard Payne College in 1955. Such discipline wouldalso help him undertake his dream for the campus - to establish something that would help preserve the great traditions, noble ideals and the high spiritual and moral values re- posed by the Constitution and our American way of life. The end result was the Douglas MacArthurAcademyofFreedom. Founded in 1962, the purpose of the Academy was, to reach the totality of our individual stu- dents so that they would have a true perspec- tive of not only our American system, but of the world in which they live...” Dr. Newman chose Mac Arthur's name because it dramatized the program and got the attention of the people nationwide. It occured to me that there was in this country a man whose image, though controversial, had captivated the imagination of millions of people as a great military statesman, edu- cator and American leader, he said. That man was General Douglas MacArthur. Dr. Newman was not only an effective administrator, but was also a personal presi- dent Reflecting back to the 1958 Lasso, a moving letter to the students is found. It told of his constant prayer for their continual achievement and that nothing may deter your purpose and defeat the ultimate plan God has for your life. The students responded to him as well. The 1968 Lasso was dedicated to Dr. New- man, with respectand love [for] apresident whose leadership and drive have resulted in substantial growth for the college in both physical facilities and academic strength. It is for his great love and dedication that we honor him once more. It is our hope this personal glimpse into this extraordinary man's life will provide an opportunity for those of us who never had the privilege of meeting Dr. Newman to do so. Unfortu- nately, his death on July 4,1988 has taken this fine man from us, but his spirit remains alive in this, the school he so cherished. Perhaps this tribute to a great man by an- other great man will bring the personhoodof Dr. Newman into focus. According to Dr. Don Newbury, HPU president and a student at Howard Payne during Dr. Newman's presidency, Dr. Newman was an unsur- passed Christian patriot, educator and gen- tleman whose vision, conviction and dedica- tion to Christian ideals inspired the tens of thousands of people who knew him. In the 33 years I knew him, he always was a trusted friend and valued counselor. In life, he faced numerous obstacles, many of which would have decimated lesser people, but he over- came them all. MuchofHPU'sgrcatncsscan be directly attributed to this great leader.” Dr. Newman in his younger days. Guy Newman and his wife Estelle were married in 1938 and they have one daugh- ter, Bobbie Kay. Guy considered his wife the greatest contribution to my life. In Memoriam 5
