In the spring of 1942, W. B. McDaniel was com- pleting his first year as «lean of MeMurry Col- lego. The nation was at war, and many MeMur- rians wenv answering the call to the colors. Dr. McDaniel’s advice to stu- dents then, recorded in the 1942 Totem, is a good cxamplo of his phi- losophy of learning and living: To the seniors and others who do not return to MeMuny, I im- {)k re you to continue to cam. The mind is like a muscle. It grows strong with use ana weak with disuse. Determine in your heart that you will ex- crciso your mind every day. This, coupled witn a creed that places God and others first, will make life really worth living. “Dean Tk. TttcDatUel. . .

You came to MeMurry as academic dean in the fall of 1941, and you liccnmc administrative vice-president of our college in 1953. During these past sixteen years, you have rendered outstanding service to tlic college in promoting high academic standards, good fellowship and Christian ideals. We know that thousands of MeMurrians who have been associated with you through the years bear the utmost respect and love for you. Your soft-spoken, easy-going nature, your sincerity and service have nibbed off on many of them. As teacher, counselor and friend, you have helped us reach a better understanding of ourselves and our fellow students. You have shared your knowledge wjth us in the classrooms, and your loyalty and sportsmanship at the stadium and gym. We know that your service to young people did not begin at MeMurry; it extends back to 1921 and includes public school teaching, coaching, and the deanshlp and presidency of Weatherford College. Your fellow faculty members have found in your com- radeship the spirit of MeMurry College. We know that the city of Abilene and the state of Texas hold you in high esteem for the service you have rendered in civic and professional activities. Your active part in the work of your church is a worthy example and inspiration for us all. Because of these things. Dr. McDaniel, we arc honored to bestow this honor upon you, on behalf of all MeMurrians who have profited from knowing you. — The Totem Staff 3
