-- , , . .' .~ ., • .... '¥" .----------- .... :.-~~.:.-.-- Fa rewa rd In publ ishing this 1936 Petit Jean, we did nat wish merely to preserve the post for some one student; we should like to picture for you and for ou rselves the college, the campus, the haunts of the cedars, and the temples of thought t hemse lves . It is school li fe as we see it here . We have not tr ied to presen t to you a physical plant, but the intangible, indefinable some· thing wh ich makes thi s dis tinc ti vely Harding College.
. Theme In keeping wi th the progress of the world we have chosen to depict for our theme a few of the many wonders that man has created . " Into the dust of the making of man Spirit was breathed when hi s life began, lifting him up from his low estate, With masterful passion, the wish to create." - Van Dyke
Dedication Because of her loyal ty, devotion, and leadership in every activity in which she engages, and especially because of ceaseless, untiring efforts as sponsor of publications, we, the senior class of 1936, do lovingly dedicate this volume of the Petit Jean to RUBY LOWERY STAPLETON

President of Harding College To the Ex-Students and th e Senior Class: As you go out from Harding Col - lege, you go with our counting on you for service . If the ex-students and graduates of Harding College are not fitted for se rvice in the world so needy as ours, the institution itself does not deserve to live.

I hove a feeling that responsibility for much of thi s delinquency must be borne by the women of America- the mothers , sisters , and sweetheart s of these young criminals . I have no greater desire for the yaung women that go aut from Harding College than that they make women after God 's own heart - women who ore destined to make the world safer for the youth of the nation and, hence, safer for civilization itself. In helping to save others, will these future wives and mothers, Harding College girl s, save themselves. WOODSON HARDING ARMSTRONG, Dean of Women .

GLEN TRENT Captain T ren t proved himself to be an ideol leader for the orange and black quin tette. He won the respect o f the en t ire squad by h is fighting spirit and desire to win. He neve r ceased fighting un til th e lost whi stle hod bl own even though th e team was hopeless ly behind. On the defense he CQuld not be excelled.
