C! Z. we K1-:PX Dr. Arthur L. Walker, lr. Vice-President for Administrative Affairs OGOICAIIIGH Dr. Arthur L. Walker, lr., was educated in Birmingham's schools and, after serving in the U.S. Army, received his B.A. degree from Howard College. He also earned de- grees from Southern Baptist and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminaries. He was ordained a minister and pastored several churches before coming to Sam- ford. As a scholar in Biblical interpretation and church history, he was appointed to various offices in the Bap- tist Historical Society. Because Dr. Walker's first nine years at Samford were spent in the classroom, he dealt with students in a learning situation. In 1965, Dr. Walker became Dean of Students, and acted in a counseling and advisory capacity. He later became Vice-President for Student Affairs, dealing with students and their activities. Be- cause of this past experience, he brought a many- sided viewpoint to his office of Vice-President for Ad- ministrative Affairs. He has remained in this capacity to direct the University's student records and admis- sions programs, financial aids, and academic counseling. Of great importance in his counseling activities is his relationship with the students. Dr. Walker has a natural rapport with every student whose life he touches. His sincerity and honest concern for those who come to him has gained Dr. Walker a genuine respect and liking from the students. To Dr. Arthur L. Walker, for his untiring work at Sam- ford and his love for the students, the 1971-1972 Entre Nous is dedicated. 3
