Dedication Doctor John V Simpson .In Appreciation 11 'hen in tlir course of events, scirral years ago. it became necessary to choose a name for the preparatory school of Birmingham-Southern College, it seemed eminently proper that it be named after a man who hud been one of the most beloved presidents of the college. Doctor J. D. Simpson. The wisdom of that decision has never been guestioned. The school has been very fortunate in having the love and friendship and high ideals of this beloved man perpetuated in the life of his very worthy son, Doctor John II'. Simpson. 'Truly the mantle of the father has fallen on the son: the son is an exponent of all those principles that are suggested when we call a man a Christian gentleman. If there is any kind of service he is not ready to engage in for the help of his felloxcman. we have not found it out—and this not simply in his chosen profession of loving service for the plaintive suffering and cry of children, but also ia ways innumerable in behalf of the school and community and church. In no unmistakable way he has manifested his friendship for Simpson. In his own right, as well as by being heir to the spirit of his noble father, he is our beloved friend. Therefore, it is with sincere affection that wc dedicate this annual to Doctor John II'. Simpson.
