No one can deny the effect of the ancient Greeks on our hves, nor the important role of the so-called classic studies on education. With these two thoughts in mind and with the need of a unifying agent and an art motif, a Greek theme was incorporated into this book. So here and there, you will find columns, statues, Greek symbols, and Greek people walking around — casual reminders of a people who still live, in part, in us. It is hoped that they are causal, though, and especially, not burdening to you; for this is not a book about Greeks, but a book about you and your college. A small number of you made this book possible. I would be re- miss if I did not emphatically acknowledge the hard work and co-opera- tion of my staff — particularly my Associate Editor. You should thank them for their honest endeavors. With these few thoughts in mind we, the Lest We Forget Staff of 1961, submit this book to you with the hope that you will sincerely con- sider it your yearbook.

DEDICATION When one thinks of the hfe of the Greeks, he immediately reahzes that it embodies many different areas. The em- phasis on athletics, religion, philosophy, and higher learning has kept the Greek culture in the eye of humanity for cen- turies. This theme has been chosen for the ' 61 yearbook; therefore, it should be dedicated to someone who reflects these ideas. Such a man is Dr. Charles Taylor. Dr. Taylor ' s enthusiasm for athletics has expressed itself in many ways. In every phase of Union ' s athletic program he has shown himself willing and able to assist in making Union well known. Whether he is coaching the tennis, golf, or cross-country team or keeping the records for track and basketball, his moral support is always evident. As head of the Athletic Committee, he scouts for new prospects for the coming year. As head of the Religion Department, Dr. Taylor ' s teaching has exemplified itself in the classroom and in his own philosophy of life. His sincerity in and knowledge of his field matter have created a desire among his pupils to learn and to apply the principles by which he lives day in and day out. Some students know well his qualifications as a counselor for personal as well as aca- demic problems. Others have worked with him in the Baptist Student Union and the Ministerial Associat ion. The en- tire student body knows him for his friendly smile and greeting as they pass him on campus. In addition to his many accomplishments here at Union, the ver- satile Dr. Taylor has been pastor of the Ararat Baptist Church for the past five years. For these reasons, we, the staff of the 1960- ' 6l Lest We Forget, sincerely dedi- cate this edition to Dr. Charles Taylor in appreciation of his many contributions to the spirit of Union. 4| 4 § •
