Dedication Every school has its men and wom- en who have done mor e than just teach, attend faculty meetings, or sponsor a student organization. The story of the GOLDEN Conns is incom- plete without pausing to acknowledge such a man, Dr. Everett N. Dick. Dick's forte is social history. With honest research and clarity of lan- guage he has made the spirit of the American frontiersman eternal in the pages of recorded tim.e. Union has se- lected her Golden Cords from this kind of people, a people who will strive to conquer a broader frontier- Service. The world of historical scholarship owes a great debt of gratitude to Ev- erett N. Dick,', announced John D. Hicks, Morrison Professor of History, emeritus, University of California at Berkeley. Dickis published books in- clude: Th e Sod House Frontieri' Q1937Q, Vanguards of the Frontier C194lD, and The Dixie Frontieri' Cl948Q. This year two more book- length manuscripts have gone to the publishers, one of which is a history of U nion College and the Golden Cords. As long as man cherishes mem- ories, the stories, lectures, books, re- search materials, and the tireless time and counseling of Dr. Dick will live. The story of the 'Golden Cords is a rich and full story, one that truly lives under the pen of Dr. Dick, respectful- ly known as Mr. Historyf' The first remembrance I have of Dr. Dick, recalls Dr. L. W. Welch, is of seeing him dressed in coveralls with a bee handler's net and glovesfi Welch, Dean of Admissions and Reg- istrar, explains that Dick was teach- ing agriculture at Union College. Another former student recalls the first Seventh-day Adventist Medical Cadet Corps that was conceived and organized by Dick at Union College. Clark Smith, director of the .National Service Organization of Seventh-day Adventists, saluted his former supe- rior officer with this statement: the lot of present-day Adventist service- men has been made much easier due to the work of Dr. E. N. Dick in pi- oneering the program of preparing the churchis youth for military serv- icef' On e of Dick's close friends and longtime associates, Dr. R. W. Fowler, President of Union College, speaks for Unionis staff and alumni when he says, The dedicated service of Dr. Dick has made significant contribu- tions to the progress and academic stature of Union Collegef, Dr. Donald Dick, chairman of La Sierra College's speech department, reflects, Dad is slow, methodical, but always open to new ideas and in that sense a liberal -thinkerf, When Union was 50 in 1941, Mary Hindmarch, editor-in-chief, and Iames J. Aitken, business manager, dedicated the GOLDEN Comms to Dr. Dick, who had even then become a tradition on campus, a man upon Whom Union entrusts her story. Over 75 years ago the denomina- tion's pioneers were forging new fron- tiers. Judicious foresight and moral in- tegrity have made Dr. Dick a worthy scion of the founders and his labor is a continuance of theirs. F ew Amer- ican historiansf, claims Dr. Hicks, a famous historian in his own right, qhave made so notable a record. How appropriate and proper, that on the eve of his retirement, the story of the Colden Cords and the sacred salute of acknowledgment it com- mands be dedicated to a man who first dedicated his life to the Colden Cords story, Dr. Everett Newfon Dick.
