Atkanmm May, 1958 Dear Southerners: Another year has come to an end on the Campus of Christian Purpose. Historyhas opened her arms and received us all for what we have done and what we did not do during the year. The present is so kind in that it does not reprimand us curtly for our failures. The future will not deal with us so easily. If we have failed in our college days to do our best, the future will become our judge and accuser. It is ours to serve the penalty of neglect and waste of time and talent. Best wishes and highest hopes for all of you from here to eternity. Sine erely yours, H. E.
