LANCASTER a a (lit aj: i/LHan The 1950 Virginian is dedicated to a man of vision, a man of accomplish- ment,—wise in vision, diligent in duty. He has endeared himself to the hearts of Longwood students both for what he has done and for what he is. His dignity and straight forward sincerity demand the respect of everyone who meets him. His true friendliness has warmed our hearts. His gracious courtesy has made our president also our friend: Dr. Dabney S. Lancaster. nalket ai^ei^iait^ eat, . in the history of Longwood College has been completed. We began the year with a new name and with a dormitory for the men students.

New ideals and old traditions have kept the spirit of the student body high. The Freshmen found the year classes full of new habits and friends; the other work. found It full, too, of challenge and happy DR. DABNEY S. LANCASTER, President Dr. Dabney S. Lancaster, who has always considered himself a member of the class of 1950, has completed his fourth year as president of the college. During the past four years he has become the most respected figure on campus. His interest in us and our activities, the friendliness of his smile and speech make us glad that he is our president. THE FACULTY and ADMINISTRATION Dean Savage, the Dean of the College, has been our counselor and guide for the past several years. Without his aid, we feel that getting settled in college life would have been much more difficult. Whenever possible, he would readily change our schedules and suggest the proper courses and classes that would fit our individual needs. William W. Savage Dean of the College One of the most gracious and poised women on our campus is our Dean of Women, Miss Ruth Cleaves. She has completed her second year in this position and has won the love, the respect, and the loyalty cf each member cf the student body. Her helpful suggestions and kindly wisdom have never failed.
