Nluch has been said of the Spirit of Samford. Students have said it dwells in the steeple of Reid Chapel, and if one has the true Spirit of Samford within himself, he can see the Crimson and Blue lights of Samford shining in the steeple at night. Samford has been called The Friendly Universityf, Each year as new students arrive on campus they are handed in spirit, as Dean John A. Fincher has said, a torch of friendlinessf' It is up to them to keep this torch burning and when leaving, pass it on to incoming freshmen. Surely, the Spirit of Samford involves many things, but it is founded on Samford's hal- lowed reasons for being, the service and worship of Cod. Perhaps it can best be seen in the lives of members of the Samford University family-in the distinguished and en- thusiastic leadership of Dr. Wright, in the faithful support of men like Frank Park Sam- ford, Dr. John Buchanan, and A. Hamilton Reid, in the courage, work, and dreams for the Greater Howard .of Major Davis, in the respect for life of Dr. Kurz, in the love, care, and promotion of the old Howard that ML Howard, Dean P. P. Burns, had, in the act of a student stopping to gaze at the Mountain in fall, in a friendship fonned that leads to the holy bonds of matrimony, in the everyday greeting of Ubi! to fellow Samfordites walking across campus, in the closeness of fraternity brothers, sorority sisters, hallmates, and roommates, in the loyalty of class members who stay to the end in order to finish the float, in a cheerleader who can yell no more, in a cooperative rat, in Christmas carols and decorating the tree, in Step-Sing competition, in the applause for the students hon- ored on Scholarship Day, in the stories told at the Candlelight Dinner, in walking to the sound of Pomp and Circumstancef' in receiving the diploma, in appreciating Mom and Pop, in working hard and doing one's best, in uangels unaware and calloused hands and silent tears,,' in the hymn's words, I'll follow my Christ who loves me so, Wher- ever He leads I'1l go. We like to think of Samford as the best kind of school. We like to think of it as a family or an academic community, for a family and a community work together for the common good of all members, and still allow room for individual differences. The Alma Nlatcr speaks of Samfordites as loving sons. So it is that this Samford, this group of buildings on 400-acres, this heritage, this people on campus and throughout the world, this mu:-ic of the heart, this intangible, hallowed spirit, is real and working and growing. So may it be as long as earth shall last.
