Bishop Walter Russell Lambuth 1924 THE SPIRIT OF LAMBUTH Nothing adds more to the beauty of scenes than traditions that link them to the past. Lambuth has such traditions, for the spirit and ideals that have impelled its founding and its growth first took definite form in 1843 when the Memphis Conference became interested in the Memphis Conference Female Institute, which served until 1920. In 1924, by an amendment to the old charter, its successor took its place and was named for Bishop Walter Russell Lam ' buth, with the hope that his consecration to the service of humanity and his unceasing efforts to bring about the brother ' hood of man would live on in the institution bearing his name. Our best institutions are like young trees growing upon the roots of the old trunks that have crumbled away. — Henry Ward Beecher

Through the years the new college has developed in accord with its name and its motto, Whatsoever things are true. This year Lambuth looks into the future more steadfastly than ever before as its spirit is carried throughout the Memphis Conference by the crusade under the leadership of its president, Dr. R. E. Womack, and Bishop U. V. W. Darlington. May the aims and ideals which characterise the man for whom it is named and those who now guide its destiny form deeper roots as the sturdy new trunk grows steadily above them! 133B Bishop U. V. W.
