SPRING IS ALWAYS A WONDERFUL TIME on the Wake Forest campus, par- ticularly because our Commencement exercises mark a time of new begin- nings for our recent graduates. We are proud to welcome the Class of 2004 into the Alumni Association! Commencement also signals a time of transition for the Alumni Associa- tion, and in July at our Summer Leadership Conference, I will pass the gavel to Jim Stone (’70). I know the Alumni Association will benefit from his lead- ership. Jim has been an active member of the Wake Forest family, having served as a member of the Alumni Council, the Parents’ Council, and the Deacon Club Board of Directors, as well as having been a class reunion chair. I must say that I have been truly gratified by the opportunity to work on your behalf, and I am thankful for all the ways that you support Wake Forest through participation in campus and regional events, volun- teering, and through your financial support. In fact, Jim Judson (’80), the national College Fund chair, says that we are close to achieving our high water mark of 10,000 donors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004. Please help us get there. Every gift—large and small—brings us one donor closer to this historic goal. This being my last column, I want to offer an important observation gleaned through my experiences this past year.Yes, it has to do with all the truly positive things happening at Wake Forest University. But I realized that our reputation and standing among the nation’s top universities continues to rise for one very clear reason, and this point must be driven home. We are going about things in the right way and for all the right reasons. While much change has taken place at Wake Forest, one essential ingredient has stayed the same. The integrity of our mission is influenced by a heritage of values that gain strength with each passing year. These values are reflected in the level of commitment of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni and in their impressive individual and collective achievements. Particularly, our newest graduates promise to be wonderful ambassadors for Wake Forest as they begin their lives in the “real world.” If you ever have the privilege to serve on one of our volunteer boards—and I wholeheartedly recom- mend such service—you will be equally impressed as you meet with those whose hard work, day in and day out, contributes to our legacy of excellence. I am proud to report that Wake Foresters are availing themselves of the occasion to “make a difference” in the lives of others. And speaking of legacies, please mark your calendars now and plan to attend Homecoming 2004, scheduled for Friday, October 22 and Saturday, October 23. This year we will honor President Thomas K. Hearn, Jr., who is retiring at the end of the 2004–2005 academic year after over twenty years of service. Half of all alumni have graduated during Dr. Hearn’s tenure. Please join us this fall to celebrate his accomplishments and to thank him for all he has done for Wake Forest. Planned events begin with the Festival on the Quad on Saturday morning, so bring your families for lots of fun, games, and food. As well, join us at the Alumni Tailgate and Post-Game Reception in Bridger Field House. Many thanks to all those who participated in our recent Wake Forest activities. Throughout April and May, the Office of Alumni Activities and the Deacon Club co-sponsored “Wake Forest Days” in nearly twenty cities. These regional events brought Wake Foresters together in their hometowns to visit, meet new students, enjoy sporting events, and hear from University staff and coaches. Keep posted for future events scheduled in your area and stay in touch with your extended Wake Forest family. I thank you for all you do to help secure the promise of our future. Wake Forest is a unique place made special because of its people. I am truly “Proud to be a Deacon!”

Kirby Hall Dedication

Alice Kirby Horton displays an architect’s drawing of the new Kirby Hall addition to the Calloway Center for Business, Mathematics, and Computer Science, which was dedicated April 1. Horton, a Wake Forest trustee and parent, is director of the F.M. Kirby Foundation, which contributed $5 million toward the building in recognition of her parents, Fred and Walker Kirby. Kirby Hall brings all the Calloway School’s classrooms and offices under one roof for the first time; the facility includes eleven classrooms, forty-two faculty offices, two student labs, and space for the Center for Entrepreneurship. Horton’s children are Laura Horton Virkler (’95), Ward Kirby Horton (’98), and Ashley Walker Horton (’01). Virkler and Ward Horton graduated with degrees from the Calloway School.
