H. H. Hibbs Provost Dr. and Mrs. Hibbs at their home on West Franklin Street. This year marks Dr. Hibbs ' fortieth year at the Richmond Professional Institute. For all these years he has been watchful over the progress of the school and rewarded by its growing recognition. By means of the 1957 Cobblestone we wish to extend our great appreciation and best wishes for future success to one who has been so vital to the Richmond Pro- fessional Institute and to education in Virginia. Dr. Hibbs shown with architect ' s drawing of the latest pro- posed building (or R.P.I. To you who have so lately been engaged in completing your education at RPI let me offer my congratulations. You have in no small way contributed to that pride which we mutually share for the educational philosophy of this institu- tion. Each one of you has had a large part in re-affirming my belief that RPI holds a distinct and generous share not only in the future of the South, but of other sections of the country as well. While your program here has been primarily voca- tional or professional, you have, no doubt, come to realize that no limitations have been placed on your individual cul- tural aspirations. By tempering a solid core of professional training with elected cultural subjects you have participated In an experience whose benefits will Increase with each year. In parting, may I add that It has been a privilege to have had a hand In furthering your education. Now as you go out to serve your state and nation let my best wishes go with you. H. H. HIBBS, Provost 14
