those individuals President Emeritus Richard E. Womack is an in- tegral part of the past of Lambuth College. With- out the consecrated efforts of this dedicated man, Lambuth could never have survived the demanding days of the Depression, nor progressed to its matur- ity in the following years. ' A familiar figure to us all — his proud walk and his majestic and applauded appearances at various major school functions — Dr. Womack is the very embodiment of the Lambuth Spirit. Dr. James S. Wilder, now finishing his fifth year as Pres ident of Lambuth College, is the man who now exemplifies the spirit of Dr. Womack. The past year he has had the pleasure of seeing much of his own ambitious dream, the Lambuth Crusade, being turned into a vibrant reality. - v Dr. James S. Wilder consults with President Emeritus Womack as plans are being made for the continued development of Lambuth. Typifying the adage, Behind every great man there is a woman, Mrs. Womack is still the same inspiration to Dr. Womack as in the past.

There- fore, it is now appropriate to salute the good works of these five humanitarians.
