Dr. A. W. Birdwell PRESIDENT EMERITUS The three attributes of character which we students and faculty members hold in highest regard are those of Courage, Loyalty, and Unselfishness; Courage to do that which one knows to be right; Loyalty to one ' s ideals; and Unselfishness in dealing with one ' s fellowman. To Alton W. Birdwell, whose acts through the years have been conditioned by these attri- butes we owe much. He has had the courage in the face of stern opposition to recommend and do the things which he felt to be the best interest of Stephen F. Austin State College; he has been loyal to the ideals which he set for himself; he has been unselfish in that he has pushed on to goals which he felt would be beneficial to all. So, to Alton W. Birdwell, whose life is the very acme of Courage, Loyalty, and Unselfish- ness, we dedicate this page.
