There are those, ho\ve\er, among our ac- quaintances, the memor\ of whom is ne\er dulled b\ the eraser of time. Such a one, who will always be remembered by the Davidson stu- dents that knew^ her, is Mildred Little. She was the grev-haired ladv who tried to teach us that home could be made from four walls, a chest of drawers, a bed, and a desk. Filled with devotion for young men, Mrs. Little came to 13avidson in 1946. The job, as given to her at the start, was to inspect the dormitories and to seiTe as a buffer between the administration and the student. Through the years Mrs. Little has added the job of counseling and innumerable other college duties to her original tasks. x\e\er has a student with a real griexance been turned from the dormitory super- N'isor's door; for whene\'er possible she has alwa\s taken the side of her "Angels," as she calls the students, fn her final year as dormitory supervisor Mrs. Little is to be thanked for her unselfish scr\ ice to the Da\'idson student body and community. The class of 1957 proudly and respectfully dedicates this edition of the Quips and Cranks to Mrs. R. a. Little. a buffer between the iuhnimitratioii and the stiide)il (CI 'nispect the dormitories fr MRS. MILDRED CROWtLL IITTIE Foreword . To the unfamiliar, unknowing eye the years at Davidson pass with monotonous regularity. It is im- portant, however, that each class sense through its four-year experience a uniqueness in the movements through Chambers, through the library, and through the dormitories. To the class of 1957 this feeling is as strong as it has been for 120 years of Davidson graduates. Our class has witnessed a new look at Davidson. We see it not only in the handsome addi- tions to the campus, but in the attitudes surrounding us: a more effective, fully tested student government; a more liberal yet deeper, fuller concept of compulsory religious services; a perceptive, sensitive student body; and a spirit that cannot be expressed in words but can only be felt. A piece of literature cannot show these intangible qualities, but it can call to mind the people who made them live, and the places where they were experienced. The aim of the 1957 QUIPS AND CRANKS is to initiate the memories of people, places, and things. Table of Contents Book ' The Campus dSlk Charles Worth Johnston Gymnasium Maxwell B.
