■ Dedication A modern poet sings of one who cannot die, for loveliness Is an eternal thing. So shall the two friends of Oglethorpe Univer- sity, to whom this issue of the Yamacraw is grate- fully and affectionately dedicated, Dr. and Mrs. J. T. Lupton of Chattanooga, survive the centuries because of the beauty which they have created and have bestowed upon future generations to be their inheritance forever. Because of these two beloved and honored friends, an Institution of learning, built upon the lofty ideals of the great leader who founded the Commonwealth of Georgia, is enabled to extend its sphere of usefulness, and to look forward to a fu- ture of increased service and achievement. So always shall the achievements of Oglethorpe ' s mcst illustrious alumni embody something of the great vision that abides in these two revered and beneficient friends, from whom the Lupton School of Liberal Arts derives its name.

■ Foreword Throughout all ages there has been some one person or group of persons who, possesced of a greater spirit of initiative than the rest, has gone ahead to hew out the path which his followers must take. On these valient ones, who have given un- stintedly of their all, we have bestowed the name of pioneers. Nowhere among the annals of this University can there be found the name of any two persons who have so typified the pioneer spirit as Dr. and Mrs. J. T. Lupton, to whom this book is dedicated. Through their unselfishness Oglethorpe was given its start. Having this idea ever before us, we have chosen this theme of pioneers and have used the various pioneers to be found in American history as motifs for the division pages.
