Every generation stands on the shoulders of the former one. That is the only way for progress. The traditions, the deeds, the gains of yesterday are our foundations for today. He is foolish and short sighted who does not build on them. It is true as to a College—of which students are the vital part. They profit by what former students have done, by the lives they have lived, by the record they have made. The TOWER tells of that. Just as we look back through earlier TOWERS to read the more intimate life of the student body, then so will this TOWER be read to see how you have lived and worked. It's a fine record! Those of us who have watched and helped you write it, wish you Good Luck and God Speed—always. —Uel W. Lamkin. Dean of the Faculty M. 0. Cunningham The nerve center of the college is the office of Dr. M. C. Cunningham, Dean of Faculty. Since assuming this position one year ago, Dr. Cunningham has acquired the confidence of both faculty and students. He has impressed us with his ability to give immediate but thorough and efficient advice on those occasions when competent council is needed, and also with his determination to guide us into making our own de- ee wr a ce Page 8 cisions. He endeavors to assist the students in intelligently furthering their own interests, their interests in the college and in their community. His close association with the stu- dents is evidenced by the fact that in nearly every case he calls the students by their first names. At the present time he is Secretary of the Missouri Association of School Administrators and a member of the Policy and Plans Commission of the Missouri Teachers Association. Be- fore coming to the college, Dean Cunningham served in the State De- partment of Education. The ready smile and cheery word of a man who combines the vigor of youth and the experience of a mature educator has placed him among those people of our highest esteem.
