Our view of Lipscomb includes... Verdant lawns, majestic rows of trees, stately columned buildings, an interlacing network of paths—this is the campus. Lipscomb is a place—with a natural setting of beauty in addition to a well designed architectural plan. It is beautiful to the beholder—in the cool, pastel dawn of a spring morning, in the deafening silence of a | snowstorm, and in the soft, peaceful twilight of an autumn evening. It is a place with a special significance. Lipscomb is people—students, teachers, administrators. They are caught up together in a constant struggle— for happiness, grades, popularity, accomplishment. . . . This is their life together—constant changes and adjustments. As in life everyhere for all people, life at Lipscomb is made up of moments of disappointment, happiness, success and failure. There are times of excitement—football championship games, campaigns for student body elections, Homecoming—and of routine—classwork, cafeteria lines, study until midnight. It is a good life. Lipscomb is inspiration. Moments spent together in quiet contemplation and thinking—expressed and unexpressed— bring us closer to each other and to our Creator. Young voices blending in harmony—this is the sound of Lipscomb. Singing, laughing, and learning, we find that college is not an abstract term—it is as real as the students themselves. Lipscomb is vivid with the memories of happiness, of service, of tradition, and of love which make it a part of our lives. The college is a part of us. Page 6

You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness . . (Gibran, The Prophet) They were together through the years . . . first as classmates at Lipscomb, and later as husband and wife. They were co-editors of the 1944 BackLoc, and were friendly rivals for the highest scholastic average in their graduating class. When their friendship deepened into love, they established a home together. As husband and wife, they were able to serve three Nashville churches—he as their minister, she as their friend and teacher. Into their care were given three children—Larry, now twelve; David, nine; and Marnie, three. For eight years he was principal of the Lipscomb High School, and she proved herself a gracious hostess, good comrade and wise counselor to young people. In 1957, they were again together on the college campus—this time because he was named Dean of David Lipscomb College. Life had never looked better . . . they were together, working for a cause dear to both of them. Their days together here came to an end on November 15, 1959, when she met an unconquerable foe... cancer. But because they had had time together to confirm their faith, hope, and love, this was not the end. There were “spaces in their togetherness”... no room for self-pity, weakness, bitterness . . . room only for inspiration, courage, Christian example and hope of heaven. Because they have inspired us as we have seldom been inspired; because they have given us a clearer vision of heaven; and because they have shown that death is not the end, but rather a beginning . for these reasons and many others that we cannot find words to express, we respectfully dedicate this 1960 BackLoc to Dean Mack Wayne Craig and to the memory of his wife, Dorothy Discher Craig.
