QI -the year a dream came true! Lakeshore At Last! One man conceived this idea and fashioned it into a reality. In 1946 Howard College acquired four hundred acres of land in Shades Valley on Lakeshore Drive. After the Alabama Baptist State Convention authorized the build- ing of a new campus on this site, work was begun in 1954. Three years later Major Harwell G. Davis could reach out and touch and see what had been so long only a picture in his mind. He had led Howard, during his presi- dency, from a period of depression and debt in July of 1939 to one of splendor and success in September of 1957. Major . . . Built his great heart into these sculptured stones, And with him toiled his children, and their lives Were builded, with his own, into the walls, As offerings unto God. -Longfellow 1 1 q'flq For throughout the program he upheld the idea of: Therefore when we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight, nor i -, for present use alone, let it be such work as our de- - scendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those A stones will be held sacred because our hands have -I 5 touched them, and that men will say as they look S' upon the labor and wrought substance from them, 'Seel this our fathers did for us'. -Ruskin He reveled in his great dream for one short 1 t year and then placed it with reverence in the hands , fy, l of another, LESLIE WRIGHT.

We love him for his friend- liness, his ambition and his dreams, we love him for his beautiful MYRA CRAWFORD CORCORAN Christian life. But, we love him most of all because he is now, and Editor WILLIAM D. CRAWFORD Business Manager in our hearts always will be, THE president of Howard College. His lite was gentle, and the elements So mix'd in him that Nature might stand up, And say to all the world, This was a man! -Shakespeare

Maior Harwell G. Davis The master architect and his scoreless helpers broke the first sod. Generationsllpassing and those of the present stood side by side and coursed their eyes forward to the end of this great! dream. In all matters, before beginning, a diligent pre- paration should be made. -Cicero Moving Howard from East Lake had been a grave consideration for President Davis, but he came to the conclusion that, Old houses mended, Cost little less than new, before they're ended. -Colley Cibber He faced the problem of crumbling walls, covered with ivy and white- wash to hide the decay. He solved it with the forward look Frank P. Samford, John H. Buchanan, Paul Redman, Sr. Cdeceasedj, Bill Eshelman, and Maior Davis fl. to r.j Like a small brown island in a vast sea of green, the ' first clearing stood. What's well begun, is half done. -Horace
