DEDICATION “[Pve got the figures right here,” is a charac- teristic sentence from the teaching of Colonel Murry J. Martin. And doubting students have long ago found it useless to challenge him, be- cause he always has them. When he came to Lipscomb, he was intro- duced with this recommendation: “Colonel Mar- tin is a mature man of exceptional personal and educational qualifications.” In the years that have followed, students, faculty members, and administrators have learned that he is all of this and much more. He and his wife, the former Miss Ruth Peck, are natives of Michigan. Before being called to active duty as a reserve officer in the army during World War II, he distinguished himself as a high school teacher, football coach, superintendent of schools, newspaper publisher, and state bank ex- aminer. At the end of May, 1954, he retired from the United States army with the rank of Colonel and has been special lecturer in eco- nomics at Lipscomb since that fall. A graduate of Albion College, Albion, Mich- igan, Colonel Martin did graduate work at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He has also studied at Vanderbilt University, and at Case Institute of Technology, Cleveland, Ohio, where he was awarded a scholarship to its “Economics-in-Action” program in 1956. As College scholarship advisor, he has become the counselor of students and faculty members alike, taking infinite pains to supply informa- tion about opportunities available. His zeal for thorough preparation and close attention to de- tails have won the respect of his own students, and all who know him respect his scholarship and high standards of academic excellence. Therefore, for his sincere devotion to the field of education, to teaching in general and to Christian education in particular; for his dedi- cation to the task of training young men and women to become Christian leaders in business, in politics, and in other fields; for his personal attributes of charact er, especially his thorough- ness, patience, and inspiring confidence in his fellow man; and for his Christian example in all that he does, we dedicate this, the 1959 Back- LOG, with sincere appreciation. Colonel and Mrs. Murry J. Martin attend the regular informal faculty dinner. In the classroom Colonel Martin demonstrates his thorough preparation and knowledge of the subject matter. Page 5
