AN APPRECIATION
Our extravagant use of
mperlativcs makes it hard
sometimes for us to express
ourselves adequately. When
tee xconld be extreme, when
the time C07nes that we xcant
to speak with foyce and em
phasis, oiir phrases sotmd
trite and xcorn and weak.
A nd so rohen 7s>e say thai one
of the best friends that
Meredith College ever had
or ever can have and one of
the greatest meii that those
zoho knezo him ever kncxo died
on February ninth, tve aren’t
satisfied mth the terms best
and greatest. We feci as if
Livingston Johmon deserves
some lU’w xvords of praise.
We xc'Oidd like to tell ri>hat
he meant to us and hoz& jce
loved him in a language that
xce do not knoxv hoio to
speak—in words unutter
ably deep.
Meredith College Has had
many trite friends. From
the time Thomas Meredith
dreamed her, through her
infancy and groxoth, she has
heeded frieiids and she has
had them. But not one, xoe
venture to say, was ever
more loyal, more deeply in
terested, xi^iser or saner in
times of stress, or more un
stinting in his or her service,
than xvas Livingston John
son.
As a member of the board
of trustees for twenty-nine
years, as the Jcinsman of a
host of students past, pres
ent, and future, as close
friend of faculty and execu
tives of our institution, he
has been intimately associ
ated xc'ith Meredith and has
carried her burdens on his
strong and xciUing shoxilders
for many years. In every
time of perplexity his xds-
dom has been called on. And
in evei'y hour of triumph or
rejoicing his heart has beat
high and broad face
beamed xcith gladness.
Dr. Johnson loved Wake
Forest, Baptist xoork all over
North Carolina xvas vital to
him, but Meredith College
was the apple of hi^ eye. He
loved her xcith the tender,
anxious, prideful love of a
fa-ther for his adolescent
daughter and he looked for-
xtHird xdth firm assurance to
the time xohen she shall be
a xvoman groxvn, independ
ent and strong.
Ahmn/ie far and jvide,
students, faculty and friends
wherever and xvhoever they
be, are grieved for his going,
but everlastingly grateful
that he lived.
