Orncc or tmc picho(nt McMurry College asilcnc. Tcxab November 21 ., 1952 Once In each person's life there comes the opportunity to make his best contribution to mankind, and to the building of the Kingdom of God. In my experience it was ray call to the presidency of McMurry College. I look back over the past ten years conscious of my limitations and mistakes and with the feeling that I might have done much better. However, I am grateful that God has used me in this period of growth and development of McMurry College to provide better facilities for our young people in their own church institution of higher learning. During the past decade we have witnessed a miracle of expansion and improvement; and as we stand on the threshold of a new decade, we believe that even greater things lie ahead. McMurry is surely destined to become one of the great colleges of the Southwest. Grateful for the cooperation of hundreds of people during the past ten years and confident of God's leadership for the future, we move forward with faith and confidence. Sincerely, G. Cooke dent of McMurry College 20
