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 § •

IPRIESIDENT ' S MESSAGE Greek culture has contributed so much to the areas of learning found in the American college of arts and sciences that it is eminently fitting that the year- book of our college be a symbol of Greek influence. The staff deserves com- mendation for their ingenuity in making this selection. For twenty-five centuries the elements of Greek literature, art, music, science, dramatics, sports and principles of gov- ernment have been woven into Western civilization. From Homer ' s Iliad to contemporary writers; from Phidias ' statue of Athena to modern sculpture; from the sports of old Athens, the birth- place of the Olympics, to the track and field of the 20th century universities; from Plato ' s Republic to Goals for America ; and from the Golden Age of Pericles to the democracy of our day, we observe unmistakable similarities. Lest we forget the identity of our rich heritage; the impact of cultural influ- ences of ancestor nations; and the ties of college experiences and friendships, let us read often — Lest We Forget. Best wishes to every reader. Sincerely, Warren F. Jones, President s-5 6 •
