Rev. Sam Morris .Gives Brief
Sermon Before Presen-
tation -
A medley of sacred hymns played
by the Cowboy Band proved a proper
scttincr Tuesday for 'tho nnvellincr and
presentation of tho life-size portrait
of President Sandefcr which was. also
the first- servico of tho annual re
vival meeting. After tho singing of
tho "Simmons Anthem" by the stud
ent body; Vice President R. N. Rich
ardson took charge of the program
and directed -it
Following the reading- of V Corin-
thians 13 which is tho scripture read
at tho beginning of each new school
year the services were turned over to
Rov. Sam Morris who brought a
brief message on tho scripture rood.
Rev. Morris characterized this par-
ticular chapter as bringing a message
of love saying that:
"Lovo manifests .Itself through tho
offering" to tho-object of devotion;
God. manifested His love for us
through tho gift of His Son and tho
friends of President Sandefcr havo
manifested their love for him by tho
gift of this picture to Simmons."
A Fitting Tribute.
In introducing Bert E. Low who
presented tho- portrait on behalf of
the men who gave it Dr. Richardson
stated that no more fitting tribute
could be paid to an institution than
tho likeness of tho ono who made it
what it is given to be hung on its
walls ever to be seen and cherished
by thos who will keep Simmons go-
ing. .
Tho idea of giving a portrait of
President Sandefer to Simmons ac-
cording to Mr. Low was originated
by Dr. Knox in a business meeting
and the men who gave tho picture
recognized the opportunity thoy had
of having tho work of art done by
such a celebrated artist scholar and
Christian gentleman as Dr. Peter
Plotkin.
Mr. Low stated further "We aro
giving a picture of Prexy to Simmons
because wo lovo him and because wo
want his family to havo a share in it
If ever Simmons should cease to be
it is tho desire of those giving tho
picture that it go back to the family
but that will never be for Simmons
will llvo on."
Cowden Unveil Portrait.
At this point with President Sande-
fer standing beside tho portrait on .a
flag-draped box C. C. Cowden un-
veiled tho picture tho nudience rising
to their feet aa he did so and offer-
ing a wave of applause.
Following the unveiling Judgo C.
M. Caldwell president of the board
of trustees in accepting the picture
on behalf of the 'university spoko of
President Sandefcr as ono of the best
and .greatest men in the world.
"Six years ago In the old Simmons
auditorium I said that Proxy was 05
per cent honest and I havo never
taken it back" said. Judgo Caldwell.
"I doubt If a lazy man can be hon
est and he has always been energetic
andj optimistic .Hqjis lolways ready
to' say 'we can' and' lives up to his
belief that ono can never get any-
whero with pessimism. When he bei
camo president of Simmons it was
with th understanding .that he would
never ask. any man for. a dollar to bo
used in the upkeep of the institution.'
But it hovhadinct asked for invest-
ments and mo rkeiL-asjio' has I doubt
if there would bo a Simmons today"
Speaking of rtho picture Judge
Caldwell said:
"!' hadratherdrop the. flowers to
the worthy while they- arefivlng.
Oneihundred 'yeara.ronnovr anyone
could appreciate. this portrait. but we
are thankful that wq have the oppor-
tunity of appreciating the picture
