FOREWORD Since the 1941 Pac Sac is dedicated to Coach Johnson, it was the purpose of the editor to choose a theme that would be closely connected with Coach and his work on our campus. The P. C. spirit itself is proof enough of his in- fluence, and the love and devotion that is shown for him by the students is fur- ther evidence of the true greatness of this man. However, the staff wanted to show in a photographic way how every campus activity centered around the genial Swede and how his life has affected the lives of every man in our school, thereby making him our theme. Our tribute is but small, for the real tribute is found in the lives of the hundreds of boys that have been under his dynamic influence. In attempting to put our theme into efiect, we found that like the two pre- ceding Pac Sacs, we were giving an informal glimpse of life on the Presby- terian campus. This is only right, as it is a part of the true P. C. spirit and therefore a part of our indomitable Coach. It is because of this fact that we feel justified if there seems to be a similarity between this and previous annuals. If, in the years to come, this book will remind its readers of the happy days spent at P. C, of the true friendships made there, and of a man who is the personification of the P. C. spirit, we, the staff, will feel that this edition of the Pac Sac will deserve its place among the other twenty-seven volumes. BAILEY FORUM ROOM

Walter Albert Johnson was bom in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on April 3, 1893. He at- tended the public schools of Milwaukee and the Normal School of Physical Education at Battle Creek, Michigan, and arrived at Presbyterian College back in August, 1915. It was then that the athletic plant developed from bare, unfenced fields to what is considered one of the best small college plants in the nation. And it was largely through his instrumentality that the Leroy Springs gymnasium was built in 1924, the W. Cyrus Bailey stadium erected, the track and Johnson field completed, the Springs indoor swimming pool constructed, and Young field se- cured. To Walter Johnson goes a large portion of the credit for the vast development in athletics that this school has seen in the past twenty-five years. Coach Johnson has an enviable won-lost record at Presbyterian College in every sport. Particu- larly outstanding is his football record, including competition against such schools as Duke, Clem- son, Georgia Tech, Furman, South Carolina, Wake Forest and others. His teams, over the twenty- five year period have been victors 103 times, been defeated 96 times, and tied 19 times. They hove amassed 2,109 total points against 2,338 for the opposition. The greatest tribute ever paid the veteran mentor came on September 21, 1940, when Clemson College joined with Presbyterian in honoring the coach by staging their annual football game in Clinton, the first meeting of the two teams on P. C. soil. 7,000 fans paid tribute to Walter Johnson on that day, jammed enlarged Bailey Memorial stadium to overflowing, heard the governor of the state and other celebrities pay tribute, and watched a mammoth parade staged by students of the college in honor of the veteran mentor. Coach has been active in the American Legion, serving as Commander and Executive Com- mitteeman of his post. He is secretary and past president of the Clinton Rotary club. The Clinton Lions club once awarded him a plaque as Clinton ' s most valuable citizen of the year. He is a dea- con and trustee of the First Presbyterian Church of Clinton, a Shriner, and a member of the Clinton Chamber of Commerce. He was awarded honorary membership in Blue Key, top leadership fra- ternity symbol, by the students of Presbyterian College. He was instrumental in the founding of the Clinton unit of the National Guard, serving as its captain until 1940 when he was promoted to the rank of major. Such is Walter Albert Johnson, a veteran in more than one branch of service. LEROY SPRINGS GYMNASIUM
