Excerpt from Echoes From Caruthers Hall: Nine Lectures Delivered by Members of Cumberland University Faculty; With a Supplement, "the Old Guard" All former students Of Cumberland University will welcome this volume by reason of the precious associations of other years, and also for the merit of the lectures themselves.

They were indeed giants in their day, and by their fruits they are known and still remembered. Many others who have not attended the University, but have known the authors of these lectures or the characters described in the Supplement, will welcome a volume which will help to a better knowl edge of them, and will bring the unfoldings of truth on the several topics discussed.
