D E D I C fl T I n Behind our school stands a famfliar figure; changeable in outward appearance, but, in spirit, as inrimovable as the Statue of Liberty. She is Tulane ' s own Mrs. Buckner Chipley, who can be found in the student center every day from nine to five. Here she is known as Chip to the hundreds of boys and girls who come to her with their personal prob- lems, love affairs, and friendships. Along with planning their parties, she encourages tournaments of all sorts, for she is a staunch believer in the great American spirit — the spirit of contest. Though she has traveled a great deal through Housemother of the University Hostess of the University Europe, South and Central America, she prefers to stay here at Tulane indefinitely. To her, the students are the most important persons of the school, and she not only gives them her time — but her heart. Mrs. Chipley is of a generation-old New Orleans family, and is not the first of her family to win the acclaim of Tulane. In 1914, her brother edited the JAMBALAYA, and in 1 937, her son was also editor of the yearbook. With a heartfelt interest and understanding of o thers, she is an ember, igniting a hidden spark of ambition or hap- piness somewhere within us. So It is with greatest pride that the staff dedicates the 1951 JAMBALAYA to Mrs. Buckner Chipley. Companion of the University 13
