To the present alumni association and Alonzo Williams, its president, you have done much in bringing together and uniting former students for better service. With an alumni office and per- manent secretary established on the campus, projects are better organized and plans more defi- nitely carried out. Data on the former students can be found at a moment’s notice by looking into the newly arranged files. The new alumni employment office places and recommends “exes” for various positions. All in all, the great work is growing, and we are facing better times. To the future alumni we say: “Take up the slogan, ‘a united alumni for our Alma Mater,’ and put forth every effort to keep this spirit alive. Preach the value of Christian education as it is taught at Lipscomb. Support the great projects and plans of the administration. Attend the annual alumni meetings and add to their success. In short, love your school, prove it by work, preach it to all, and then watch it grow!” To all alumni everywhere, Lipscomb needs you! Its future rests upon you! Few other schools in this country depend upon the support of its former students as does our school. As yet, we have no endowment, our debts are not fully paid, and no expansion program can be undertaken without the knowledge that former students are backing it wholeheartedly. So now, it’s up to you! : Page Five

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
