OLOXEL Alfred Shorter, realizing the great need of a college in tile South for tlie education of young women, in the j-ear eighteen-hundred and seventy-seven, founded and generously endowed Shorter College as a gift to our daughters. We thank. God for the work of this beloved man who made possible the building of such an institution as ours: one that stands for the advancement of Christian education as well as for iiigll standards in scholarship. We revere his name; and we rejoice in the thought that these visible memorials of his name and influence daily before the eyes of our students may so inform tluir minds and hearts tliat he will not only be held in honor among those who have come under the infiueiice of Shorter s ideals and teaching, but also perpetuated and loved among the people throughout our Southland. We are grateful for all those both great and small who have given cheerfully of their time and substance to carry on this great work, and for all those, whether living or dead, who have befriended the college with gifts, labors, prayers, or good-will; even though their names are not linked with memorials, they, too, share the glories and rewards of a work well done. With all beautiful memories of our college life we, the Senior Class of nineteen-hundred and fourteen, would, as we leave our Alma Mater, pledge our steadfast love and loyalty. We would invoke Heaven ' s blessing upon our beloved president who has been so nobly and faithfully true to the lofti- est aims in his achievement here; upon the members of our board of trustees who have been so faithful through many years to uphold and to further to the best of tlieir ability the interests of Shorter in every advantageous way; upon the members of the faculty, and all co-workers and benefactors who have expended their best energies, and sympathies for the upbuilding of our college. Reward thou them, O Lord, for all that they have done, out of Thy treasure which fadeth not, eternal in the heavens. Withhold not Thy hand, but raise up other helpers to enlarge and endow that which we have builded in Thy name, and make us faithful in administering the trust committed to us. C. M. D. 20
