OAKXEAVES 1029 (7]|r O that ingenious soul who, after perusal of this | volume, asketh its theme, we answer, “Progress.” Progress has waved her magical wand over the campus and as a result, this school year has witnessed wondrous changes in the life of our campus. It has marked the dedication of Melrose Hall and the culmination of one of the most cherished dreams of our president. It has brought about an expansion of the curriculum and the widening of the scope of student body activities. Greatest of all, it has afforded an opportunity for a finer development of the Linfield Spirit and a higher realization of those Christian principals upon which Linfield was founded. We present here a faithful record of the most fruitful year in the history of the college, but more than anything else do we seek to portray the undying and glorious spirit of Linfield. If evidence of that spirit is recognized throughout this volume, the mission of the 1929 Oak Leaves will be fulfilled.

OAK LEAVES ' 1929 dedication O that heroic spirit which prompt¬ ed our Baptist forefathers to found this Christian institution—which led former presidents, teachers and trustees to struggle against hopeless odds that Linfield might glorify her name—which gave us President Riley and his dreams—to the Spirit of Pro¬ gress this 1929 volume of Oak Leaves is gratefully and reverently dedicated.
