PROFESSOR M. E. REDFORD To Professor M. E. Redford the 1939 DARDA is dedicated with sincere gratitude for his unselfish, sacrificial service often rendered under trying handicaps, for his genial companionship, for his thorough, scholarly example, for the earnestness of his message and the genuineness of his Christian life, for his great faith and his constant exaltation of the Bible as the Word of God. Two things are associated with Mr. Redford ' s name, the Bible and the history of the Nazarene Church. He makes the Bible the focal point of all his teachings, and the highest court of appeals on every question. He is the best authority on the history, trends, and dangers of the church; all who know him are aware of the fact that he is an ardent lover of it and a staunch defender of its every interest. We admire his full, systematic mind, we marvel at his perseverance, and we en- deavor to follow his splendid example of keeping vital contact with God and of striv- ing toward a more perfect manifestation of the mind of Christ. etetvel T R I B U T E • •

J-L 1939 D A R D A This book is presented by the student body with the hope that it may convey to the reader something of the scope of the year ' s activities. It is earnestly desired that this yearbook shall fill well its place in the continuous progress of Trevecca, and that it shall serve as a marker from which we may, in future years, measure the progress that has been made.

MR. M A C K E y • • Serenity, deliberation, patience, self-control, fortitude, courage, untiring energy, efficiency, inoffensive sternness, unfailing kindness, straightforward sincerity, content- ment, thoughtfulness of others, vision, profundity of knowledge and wisdom — all these and more we see beautifully blended in the harmonious personality of Mr. Mackey. In him we recognize a man with a worthwhile contribution and an extraordinary abil- ity for imparting it to others. Originality, uniqueness, vivid presentation, and dynamic personality make his lectures at once interesting, gripping, stirring, elevating, and refreshing. Mr. Mackey challenges us so forcibly and irresistibly that we feel that nothing is impossible. By his example and teachings the students are inspired to prepare to fit pleasantly, smoothly, contentedly, and successfully into any situation in life; to build a philosophy of life which eliminates unnecessary worry; and to develop attitudes which enable them to take whatever may come and utilize it towards building and living better lives. In the heart of every student are respect, appreciation, admiration, and love for our President. Our common desire is that many more young people may have their lives enriched by contact with Trevecca ' s Mr. Mackey.
