1880

Too late for publication in the May Notes for the last ALUMNI MAGAZINE comes a fine long letter from Willard Warner of Chattanooga, Tennessee, known to all classmates as "Cap" Warner.

While at first proclaiming that he had ..nothing of interest to report, he really out- did himself in giving us interesting information about himself and his work. "Cap" has always been very greatly interested in religious work. He is a member of the Episcopal Church, has been twice a lay delegate from the Diocese of Tennessee to the General Convention of the Church and is also a Member of the National Commission of Evangelism and a lay crusader of the Bishops Crusade which was inaugurated by the Commission. He has been deeply devoted and used all his influence for many years to have the Church adopt and practice personal and corporate evangelism and he is still speaking and writing for it as the most vital means in promoting spiritual power and growth of the Church.

Cap writes "I did not get my inspiration from the Church for it has not existed there. I got it from an Evangelistic Club of which Billy Sunday was the Author and of which I was a Charter member" and he is still active in it.

The membership of the Club is from eight denominations and twenty-seven churches, so it is easy to understand that Cap's greatest interest in life is in Evangelical work.

With all his religious activities Cap still finds time to interest himself in modern affairs and is still Secretary of a large Corporation engaged in making cotton yarn and knitting it into underwear.

He is, however, intensely interested in his classmates and likes to cherish the memory of the faculty, students, particularly our classmates and the management of the College when we were students there.

Cap is glad to acknowledge receipt of Christmas cards from Billy Service and Davidson and the writer and reports himself in the best of health.

At this time Dr. Sam King is busy as Class Agent in obtaining contributions for the next Alumni Fund and although his efforts are not yet concluded, reports as meeting with good success up to present writing.

No doubt we all received his message of March 25th, addressed to all classmates and while our numbers are few, he looks for a generous response from all, so that our full quota may be obtained.

Aside from this, Dr. Sam states his life at present is very quiet, occasionally going to New York to some entertainment and was especially interested in the Annual Dinner of St. Luke's Hospital of New York of which he was at one time an interne and where he states he always has a rousing good time. He says his chief distinction at the Dinner was he was the oldest man there and it made him feel good when they sang "For He Is A Jolly Good Fellow."

He is looking forward to our Reunion in June and expects to be present.

Last word received from our classmate Professor Sanborn of the University of Florida of Gainesville, Florida, was that he was improving in health after a long and rather severe illness with which he has been afflicted during the past year: A visit from George Davidson and wife of Chicago during the Winter was much enjoyed by both him and his good wife who reports him as full of courage and getting about a little and looking forward to his speedy recovery. He hopes to be able to be present at our June Reunion.
