'x Y' Upon the death of Dr. William Pratt Dale II, each in- dividual who knew and loved him felt a great loss. But perhaps all the emotions concerning Dean Dale were best summarized by Dr. David M. Vess, Head of the Department of History and a former student of Dale's. 'Dr. Dale was the kind of man you would remember. He sat commandingly on his platform in front of the class, instructing the students in his beloved history, often flashing that friendly, mischievous smile. Since he came to Howard in 1941, he knew and loved an entire gen- eration of Bulldog athletes. To know Dean Dale, was to know the anecdotes of his patience and prodding of his boys. His life was working with students, he served as Dean of Men and later as Dean of Students. As an academic advisor, he touched the lives of many pre-law students. Dean Dale was wise in counsel, full of funny stories and tales, gentlemanly, cooperative, and respected. He shunned ostentation, but he was a member of numerous honorary organizations and listed in many Who's Whos. To some in the department he was our teacher. But, most of all, to each of us, he was our friend.

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
