From nature springs life — a painful challenge. And from life stems knowledge — an awful fiend, But, vet, a satisfying angel. Through the Progression of experience one learns of his Tiuthful existence. Is this not optimistic. The ell of negation cries that not all find Truth in life. If this be, will falsehood Interrupt the search for absolute reality? Bcaut , indeed, can lead one in the right Direction, for Beauty signifies a perfect Molding process. The hands of humanity are Not perfect. Appreciation can have only a few Detours, and Appreciation does lead to con- Victions Glory! Compassion implies there is A need How true! The sojourners of life Cry out for the need of truth, and compassion For life can send one to truth. Uncertainty Stalks at our neighbor ' s door. This is the same As death. Remember the commandment. Love Thy Neighbor. If he asks for truth, will you give Him a he.- Education pleads for individual Searching, will you harden your hearts. Your Paths need to be broadened before they can be Righteous. Fill your eyes with the tears of con- Quest and your ears with the sound of life. In the Beginning God — Delbert Coggins, Editor

DEDICATION The person to whom this edition of Lest We Forget is dedicated possesses many of the qualities which Emerson, in his writings, deems so important. She is a woman of noble character and high ideals. She sets for herself high goals re- lating to her life and to her work, and reaches these goals regardless of obsta- cles. She aspires to truth, goodness, and beauty of spirit. This woman of so many attributes is an alumnae of Union University and reflects the qualities that all Union graduates should possess. In her ties with Union she has never failed to serve the school and its students in every way possible. She is now serving in a duel role of Registrar and Dean of Women. Both of these jobs are full-time occu- pations and require much time, thought, and energy. This lady is one of the first represen- tatives of Union who greets the new student upon his arrival at Union. She serves him as counselor and friend throughout his days here, and is one of the last persons to say good-by when he graduates. She has given inspiration and guidance to many who have graduated from Union, those who are here, and will continue to inspire and guide all students with whom she has contact. She never fails to do that which she believes to be best for the student be- cause she has an intense interest in the student as an individual and understands his school problems. For all these reasons, We, the 1961- 62 staff of Lest We Forget, wish to pay tribute to one whom we feel that Emerson would hold in high regard as we do, our friend and counselor, Mrs. Gladys Ivy Stone. — 5 —
