193 Your 1956 HowiER is a record of a siijnificaiU car in the ClolleEje ' s history — a year which marks the end of one era and the bes inning of a new. The underlying theme of 1956 was of course the impending move. The administration was geared for high speed planning and decisive action. The students held in their minds either rosv pictures of the lu.xury of the new campus or a joy that they would graduate at Wake Forest. Organizations were faced with the problem of relocation. There was an.xiety concerning whether or not the new Wake Forest would retain the intangible features of friendliness and spiritual warmth that have made her great. Each old and young heart was saddened at the thought of leaving the beautiful setting that had for over a century felt the surging life of Wake Forest. Seeing these aspects of the year 1956, the staff sensed the need of a voluine which would capture the impression and hold it in a simple pattern. A history of the college recounts the dreams of educators who have given Wake Forest a heritage of culture and learning. The Scholastic section presents the people who have caught the dream and are a part of it. The spirit is expressed in the organiza- tions and student activities found on the campus todav. Finally that thrilling, vital aspect of Wake Forest, its campus life, is depicted. Wake Forest College has a great heritage. It is a dream that lives. It is a spirit that grows greater with every defeat and triumph. This book is a product of a vear rich in the heritage of the past and the hope of greater accomplishment in the future.

To these two — viS-5 7 To Dr. GL-jigc C;. Mackic, college physician, and Dr. Ora CI. Bradbury, professor of biology, we dedicate this hook. Dr. Mackie will end his afliliation with the college this year, while Dr. Bradbury will continue service on the faculty. Dr. Mackie came to Wake Forest C ' ollege in 19.1(1 as . .ssociate Professor of Physiology and Pharmacology. He became college physician in 1941, and has served faithfully and well, devoting long hours to the administration of the college infirmary and to the general health and welfare of the students. At the same time, the good doctor has main- tained a busy private practice. Many times Dr. Mackie has been known to double the length of his consultation hours at the infirmary to give treatment to students in need of medical care. This book is a symbol of our gratitude to him for this service to the college. DR. GEORGE C. MACKIE DL f A DR. ORA C. BRADBrRY Dr. Bradbury, a scholarly, slightK slonpecl professor of biology, came to Wake Forest in 192. from the Midwest. Before joining the biology department he taught at two western universities, having received his doctorate Irom the University of Nebraska. .• bout Dr. Bradljury a student once wrote: If you see a white-haired, balding man walking across the campus with his hands in his pants pockets, obviously lost in thought, he may be thinking about any of his many projects, but any of these will readily give way to a genial, sincere interest in the problems of a student who seeks advice. Anv student can tell ou that Dr. Bradbury is devoted to those he teaches as well as Kj his work. His willingness to help the disheartened; to guide the aspiring; to give himself in service to students, is worthy of all prai.ses we can bestow. }imik ' Mmm m}i
