Dr. R. E. Wotnack PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE The worth of a college should not be measured by its size and physical assets, but by the purposes and aims that dominate its program and by the atmosphere that pervades its campus life. In a word, the spirit of a college is the proper measure of its worth. What is the Spirit of Lambuth? In the first place, it is the spirit of reverent inquiry. It encourages its students to seek for whatever things are true in all the realms of their lives and reverently follow wherever truth leads, to the end that they may be made free. In the second place, it is the spirit of helpfulness. The college constantly strives to help worthy students find solutions not only for their financial problems, but for all the problems vitally affecting their lives. Prompted by a sense of social responsibility, the students themselves manifest in their campus and community relationships a fine spirit of service. Life-sharing is a fixed principle of conduct in our Lambuth family. And, finally, the Spirit of Lambuth is a spirit of friendliness. One cannot walk through the campus or into the college halls without feeling this. Our alumni and former students are always glad to come back to renew friendships formed in earlier years. Thi6 is one of the richest possessions one can acquire in college — enduring friendship with kindred souls. This is the Spirit of Lambuth — the spirit of reverent inquiry, of helpfulness and of friendliness. May each of you carry a full measure of it with you throughout all the days of your life! 11
