Lipscomb University - Backlog Yearbook (Nashville, TN)

Introduction Tuts, the thirteenth edition of the BACKLOG, compiled and published through hard and co- operative labors, is yours. It has been the purpose of the 1935-36 class to present to you an at- tractive epitome representative of this institution of learning; an institution worthy of our pride because of its past, characterized by brilliant leadership and consecrated service to man; worthy of our pride and respect because of its determined efforts toward a more effulgent future. We hope that in future years you may gaze with mind’s eye into the smoldering flames of this, our BAcKLOoc, grasping in the warm breath of those flames something of the atmosphere of love, friendship, and service which now pervades our campus, penetrating and enriching our very souls. Adding ecstasy to the glowing embers, we have sprinkled a little spice which in years to come may rise as incense to our unremembering minds, bringing to us in sweet, beautiful, translucent dreams the delightful scenes, the dear friends, the beloved traditions, and happy memories of our life at David Lipscomb College. We have endeavored to record, as faithfully and as diligently as possible, the glorious memories of our joys, victories, and happiness, and to perpetuate these memories for those of us who must, with regret, sever the ties that bind us to this campus, and take the positions of womanhood and manhood in this great game of life, having the BACKLOG as our only consolation during our ex- tended absence. Car. Spain, Editor.

Dedication To the alumni of David Lipscomb College—to the future “exes” as well as to those thousands of foster sons and daughters who are already carrying the spirit and ideals of this institution into practically every one of the United States and even into several foreign countries—to these do we, the staff, dedicate the ’36 BAackLoc. To that loyal aun who attended the old Nashville Bible School on its various campuses, who knew and loved David Lipscomb, we express appreciation for their continued interest and willing co-operation. With pride in our hearts we tell you that even in this modern age the great prin- ciples taught by our founders are still embodied in the lives of the teachers and students. More than one-half of the present faculty members are alumni, and several are graduates of the Nashville Bible School. We dedicate it also to those disciples of Lipscomb who show their love and appreciation for their school and its great principles of Christian education by sending to us fine boys and girls who carry on this great work and, in turn, pledge their loyalty to the institution. At present more than ten per cent of the student body is made up of children of alumni, and a very large number have enrolled because of the influence of these faithful supporters. Such assistance is one of the greatest contributions that can be given to the progress of David Lipscomb College. Page Four
