The Test of Time
Rick Fleenor ’85 Director of Alumni Services
Time is certainly something that we can often take for granted. The older I get, the
more I realize just how precious a commodity that time really is. It somehow always
seems to be a challenge to make the most of the time that is available for work-related
projects as well as for family and friends. Time also has an impact on education.
With so much uncertainty in the world, as reported daily through television newscasts
and as printed in the papers, many have said that these are troubling times. Times
like these help to bring clarity to the things that are most important. Family and friends
are on the top of the list of items of importance, along with one’s personal faith in God
and one’s devotion to country. Now, more than ever, a faith-based, value-centered education
also is of great importance as individuals seek to make the most of the time they
have been given to make a difference in this time of uncertainty.
Changing times call for change. Cumberland College is seeking to take advantage of
every possible means of technology available today. In so doing, the college can advance
its position in the higher education market, insure even greater opportunities for
prospective students and take advantage of cost savings methods. This “web based” edition
of Cumberland Today is just one of the ways technology will be used to provide the
college with greater flexibility in the utilization of its resources.
For more than 115 years, Cumberland College has withstood the test of time as its
leaders have sought to provide a valuable educational experience for deserving students,
despite increasing difficulties in an uncertain world. Looking back over our history, one
can readily see that the college has made significant advances. Only time will tell how
the actions of today will affect the college in the future.
For Cumberland College to stand the test of time, alumni of this great institution will
play an increasingly greater role in helping the college overcome the challenges of uncertain
times and continue to move forward in accomplishing its mission. Perhaps you
could make a financial contribution or recommend a prospective student Everyone can
do something. I hope you will join with us in our efforts to advance the college through
every possible means.

Honorary Degrees
Chick-fil-A Founder Receives Honorary
Degree From Cumberland

honorary degree from Cumberland College during the
November 18, 2002, convocation service. S. Truett
Cathy, founder and chairman of Chick-fil-A, received an
honorary doctor of law degree and spoke during the convocation
service in the O. Wayne Rollins Center.
Cathy started the business in 1946, when he and his brother, Ben,
opened an Atlanta diner known as Dwarf Grill (later renamed Dwarf
House). In 1967, he founded and opened the first Chick-fil-A
restaurant in Atlanta’s Greenbriar Shopping Center.
Today, Chick-fil-A is the third-largest quick-service chicken restaurant
company in the United States. There are more than 1,030 locations
in 34 states and Washington, DC, Cathy has led Chick-fil-A on
an unparalleled record of 34 consecutive years of sales increases.
Cathy has a strong sense of obligation to the community and to
young people. WinShape Centre Foundation, founded in 1984,
helps young people succeed in life through scholarships and other
youth-support programs. Through the Leadership Scholarship Program,
the Chick-fil-A chain has given more than $16.5 million in

principles, all of Chick-fil-A’s restaurants operate with a “closed-on-
Sundays” policy-without exception. When not managing his company,
Cathy donates his time to community efforts and teaches a Sunday
school class to 13-year-old boys, as he has done for more than 45 years.

Carter and Smith Receive Honorary
Degrees From Cumberland
The Cumberland College Board of Trustees voted unanimously
to bestow the honor of Doctor of Divinity upon
Dr. Harold A. Carter of Baltimore, MD, and the honor
of Doctor of Laws on Dr. Harold H. Smith of Pikeville,
KY, for their continued service to mankind.
Cumberland College President Dr. James Taylor presented the
honorary degrees to both gentlemen during Cumberland’s 44th
annual Honors Day awards ceremony held on Monday, April 28.
Dr. Harold A. Carter began his pastorate at New Shiloh Baptist
Church in Baltimore, MD, in 1965, where he continues to serve.
During this period, the evangelistic membership at the church has
grown from 800 to more than 5,000 members.

recipients Dr. Harold A. Carter (center) and Dr. Harold H. Smith (right).
“Under Dr. Carter’s leadership, New Shiloh has established lifechanging
programs like the New Shiloh Village Complex, an entity
that brings a wide array of community services to the metro Baltimore
area,” Taylor remarked.
Dozens of Carter’s supporters from his congregation and family
were present for the ceremony. During his remarks, Carter thanked
them all for making the long trip to Williamsburg. “My sister is here
from Atlanta and many from my congregation are here from Baltimore,”
he said.
Taylor said that Dr. Carter was given the honorary degree because of
his dedication to proclaiming the word of God, for his commitment to
the church and because of his determination to live with Christ.
Taylor continued, “Perhaps one of the most inspiring accomplishment
of Dr. Carter is the fact that he has seen more than 125 persons
accept the call to ministry. To date, more than one third of those have
been theologically trained and are currently serving in churches.”
Carter earned a bachelor of divinity degree from Crozer Theological
Seminary, a Ph.D. in theology from St. Mary’s Ecumenical Institute,
and a doctor of ministry degree from Crozer/Bexley Hall Seminary.

Raymond E. Mason, Jr. was awarded an honorary doctor of laws
degree, and his wife, Mrs. Margaret Mason, received and honorary
doctor of humanities degree. These honors were awarded on behalf

The Masons, taking an active part in education, have generously
donated funds to colleges across the country, including Cumberland
College. The Masons expressed their appreciation for the honors
bestowed upon them and were thankful they could take a role in the
lives of Cumberland’s students. Mrs. Mason addressed the students

Cumberland’s Clocks
During the past year, several clocks have been added to
enhance the overall appearance of campus. The
recently completed carillon clock tower serves as a
focal point for guests and members of the campus
community traveling along the campus’ entrance boulevard.
Clocks have also been placed on the O. Wayne Rollins Center,
reflecting five different time zones and providing students with
an international perspective. The newest addition to the collection
of campus clocks is a cast metal clock that sits atop a 7’ black
corner post, adding character to the campus quad. These newer
timepieces complement the clock and carillon of the Gatliff
Building that have long provided familiar sights and sounds.
Telling time is one of the most basic things that an individual will
learn . . . 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours
in a day . . . Time is infinite, it has always been and it will always
be, but each one of us only has a limited allocation.
Time is something you can’t increase or decrease. No matter
how clever you are, how wealthy, how industrious, you are still
only presented with 24 hours, 1,440 minutes, 86,400 seconds in
each and every day, no more, no less.
As a means of helping students develop an awareness that the
world is larger than one’s self, these clocks also serve as a reminder
of the biblical truth that there is “a time and a purpose for everything
under heaven:”
A time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
Alumni are proving that Cumberland’s emphasis on quality,
value centered academics and service to one’s community are priorities
that will stand the test of time. Only time will tell about
the total impact that Cumberland College is having on its students
and the way they are affecting their world.
Every day provides new challenges to overcome as well as new
opportunities for accomplishment and service. The clocks on
Cumberland’s campus not only “tell time,” they also help to
remind students and the other members of the college community
to make the most of every precious moment. There is nothing
more telling than how one uses one’s time.

Campus Renovations
Recent Campus Additions are Dedicated
Cumberland College administration, faculty, trustees and
supporters gathered on Thursday, April 24 to dedicate
recent additions to the campus.
Beginning on the lawn across from the Bennett Building,
formerly known as the Gray Brick Building, the ceremony recognized
the contributions of founders and donors instrumental in shaping the
physical and educational character of
Cumberland. “For almost 115 years
Cumberland College, the college of
the Kentucky mountains, has maintained
its founding mission: To provide
a quality liberal arts education
within the means of mountain people,”
stated Cumberland President
Jim Taylor.
Four newly erected historical
markers tell the story of the Clyde V.
and Patricia Bennett Building and
Mahan, Roburn, and Gillespie
Halls. “The [historical] markers are
like time capsules, serving to educate
Cumberland President Jim Taylor
expresses his appreciation to
Patricia Bennett at the unveiling
of the historical marker by the
Bennett Building. This building,
formerly known as the Gray
Brick Building, was acquired by
the college in 1906 with the
purchase of Highland College.
During the dedication of the
Divine Servant statue Cumberland
College President Jim Taylor
stated, “Service to others
may at first seem to be a sacrifice
but ultimately turns out to
be one of life’s greatest blessings.”

us and help us reflect on our past,”
James C. Codell, III, secretary of the
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet,
stated in his remarks.
The Kentucky Historical Highway
Markers program is an effort
conducted in cooperation with the
Kentucky Historical Society
(KHS), which was represented by
its Interim Director James E. Wallace.
Also present were Mike West,
district traffic engineer, Manchester
Department of Highways.
KHS works with local governments,
historical organizations
and individuals to create new
markers as capsule lessons on
important events, sites and movements
in Kentucky history. Today
there are more than 2,000 markers
throughout Kentucky.
The Divine Servant statue,
another recent addition to campus,
visually helps represent the mission
of the college. President Taylor
spoke of the Divine Servant dedication,
“Those who lead best, serve
most. It is appropriate that this statue
is located at a bridge leading
from the campus to the town and in
the midst of several churches.” Taylor
continued, “Service at first may
seem a sacrifice, but ultimately it is
the greatest blessing. Cumberland
College is interested in the production
of those servant leaders.”
The Divine Servant sculpture is
cast bronze, and was first crafted
by Max Greiner, Jr., in the spring
of 1986. According to Taylor,
Greiner attempted and succeeded
in portraying the message of sacrificial
love, humility, and servant
hood. The sculpture was made
possible through the generous
donation of trustee Tom Raper,
and his wife, Suzanne.
The Patriot Pavilion, located on
the grounds of the James H. Taylor
II Stadium, is a fellowship area

with a large brick barbeque. This recent addition will allow the college
another opportunity to service its students and guests. “This
structure will be used as a place where folks can gather for various
occasions to enjoy food, fun and Christian fellowship.” The pavilion
was made possible through the generous donation of trustee
David Huff, and his wife, Pat.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies, Taylor added, “We are indeed
grateful for the generosity of Clyde and Patricia Bennett, Tom and
Suzanne Raper and Dave and Pat Huff and others like them. We
thank you for your support. But most of all, we thank you for your
friendship.”

ranked as the No. 1 long jumper in the nation. He helped lead the
Cumberland team in the KIAC District 32 meet by winning four
individual events and running on two winning relay teams. Hanns
went on to finish second in the long jump at the NAIA Nationals,
during one of his worst showings, with a leap of 23’ 7”. The Nationals
were won at 23’ 11”. A week earlier, Hanns won the Mason-
Dixon games with a jump of 24’ 7”, setting a school record. For his
career efforts, Hanns was named a two time NAIA All-American in
indoor track and a four time All-American in outdoor track. Hanns
currently resides in Clarksville, TN, along with his wife, Johnetta,
are their three children; Carl, Carlos and Carleisha.
Terry Stigall, a 1975 graduate of Cumberland, began his coaching
tenure at the in 1976 as the assistant baseball coach and held that
position through 1980. In 1982, Stigall served for one season as the
head women’s softball coach, compiling a 30-4 record and leading
the team to capture two invitational tournament championships. In
1983, Stigall was selected as the head baseball coach and served in
that position until 2001. In his 19 years at the helm, Stigall compiled
a 502-298 record. His teams were five-time KIAC conference champions
and earned the runner-up position six additional years. Stigall
was named Coach of the Year on three separate occasions and 82
players were named to All-Conference honors during his tenure as
head coach. During this time, ten players also signed professional
contracts with the Philadelphia Phillies, Milwaukee Brewers, Montreal
Expos and the Frontier League. Throughout his 25-year coaching
career at Cumberland, Stigall coached a total of 1,000 games,
compiling a winning percentage of .644. Stigall is a member of the
health, movement, and leisure studies department faculty at Cumberland
College, and he resides in Williamsburg with his wife, Laura,
their son, Adam, and their daughter, Alicia.
At a time prior to most nationally organized athletic conferences and
long before the benefit of the three-point shot option, the 1946-47

PACE Yourself!
Cumberland College is pleased to introduce the PACE
Program, named according to its initiative to Provide
Adults a College Experience. The PACE Program is a
non-traditional degree completion program designed to
provide students with an interdisciplinary experience in education
while majoring in Organizational Management. The College has
implemented this new program to meet the unique educational
needs of adults who wish to complete a bachelor’s degree in the
evening through an accelerated academic program. PACE allows
adult students the opportunity to return to college one night each
week while working toward a bachelor of science degree.
Students entering the program ideally:
• Have completed at least two years of college, university, or technical
school so that they have the equivalent of 60 semester hours credit
or more.
• Have professional work experience.
• Are highly motivated to finish their degree.
• Can schedule their time carefully and discipline themselves to meet
the rigorous demands of this program.
• Want to complete their degree in a Christian setting where the faculty
and staff are sincerely interested in students and their future.
• Are employed full-time.
• Want to develop their gifts for leadership and management so that
they can enhance their careers and their place within God’s kingdom.
Program Emphasis
The PACE Program is unique in many ways. First, the curriculum
contains 18 modular courses to be taken in sequence. The term
modular course signifies the integrated nature of this curriculum. It
is not a collection of independent courses but a unified curriculum
where each course is taken in sequence. The curriculum consists of a
major in Organizational Management and prepares students for the
widest range of career choices. In addition to the major, students in
the PACE program must also take 15 semester hours of restricted
electives to complete their major. These courses are specifically chosen
to fulfill an interdisciplinary program to allow students to apply
what they learn in a broad array of professional settings. Since students
entering the program should have professional employment
experience, the course of study will help them apply this practical
experience in formal education for their greatest benefit.
Each modular course is scheduled to be taken sequentially. Students
are encouraged to plan ahead so that they can fit the program
into their already busy schedule.
The classes meet one night each week from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m.
for 24 months. The schedule is planned to allow time for holidays
and a brief summer vacation. Students register as a group and move
through the program together taking one modular course at a time.
Such groups are called cohorts. The courses are scheduled over four
semesters equaling 54 semester hours of credit. The curriculum is
distributed in a series of Student Guides bound into notebooks with
detailed assignments for each week, helping students plan their study
schedules accordingly.
Tuition and Fees
Cumberland College will charge a standard tuition rate for each
semester of the program. Students will be guaranteed that the tuition
rate will remain constant if they continue with the same cohort
group. Each semester the student will be charged $180 to cover college
services and materials related to this curriculum. Students in the
PACE Program are considered full-time students; therefore, they
may qualify for various forms of financial assistance.
Evaluating Alternative Education Experience
The College will evaluate formal educational experiences gained in
non-college settings. Where such courses have been evaluated by the
American Council on Education (ACE), the College will use the
evaluation in the appropriate guide as a source for determining what
credit might be given. Students may have had courses in specialized
institutes such as banking or real estate, courses as part of vocational
training in industry, courses in a technical institute, or as specialized
training in the military. Cumberland College will evaluate such
work according to standards established by accrediting associations.
Credit by Examination
Cumberland College will accept the results of testing by CLEP
(College Level Examination Program) DANTES (the military equivalent),
or by departmental examination.
Credit by Demonstrated Competency (CDC)
CDC allows a student the opportunity to prepare a portfolio
describing specific work activities and life experiences and then to
document the learning that resulted from these experiences. Material
for this portfolio can come from a number of different sources,
including workshops, seminars, self-study, non-credit classes, training
courses and work experiences.
On Site Locations
Adults who are working full time may not have time to travel to the
Williamsburg campus of Cumberland College. While the first cohort
group will meet on the main campus of the College, later cohorts will
form at other sites. Possible off campus sites will be in London/Corbin,
Somerset and Harlan/Cumberland (in conjunction with the Southeast
Community College). The College anticipates that two different
cohort groups will start at each of these sites during the year.

Faculty & Staff Recognition
On Saturday, April 26, Cumberland College held its
annual Faculty and Staff Recognition Dinner, an event
developed by the college administration and trustees as
a means of expressing appreciation for and providing
recognition of the accomplishments on the part of faculty and staff
members. The evening is always a great time of fellowship and celebration
that is shared as equally as the dedication and commitment of
the individuals who contribute to the overall benefit of the college
throughout the year. As part of this year’s event, promotions and
tenure were announced; faculty and staff members were presented
milestone awards, recognizing their years of service; two members of
the faculty and staff were honored with special awards and three individuals
were recognized for service as they move toward retirement.
Fay Partin was the recipient of the 2003
Service Award for full-time administrators
and non-teaching staff. This award is made
possible by the contributions of alumnus
Robert Michael Duncan, from the class of
1971. For the past 16 years, Partin has
served as secretary to the department of history
and political science and special assistant
to department chair Dr. Eric Wake.
Mrs. Fay Partin
Performing her many and varied duties
in the history department, Partin always
goes beyond the requirements of her job to assist anyone who needs
an extra hand. Besides the routine demands within her department,
Partin also works closely with Dr. Wake in planning the annual
Honors Day Convocation. Work-study students comment on her
strong work ethic and Christian example.
Partin has been married to her husband Bruce for 36 years. They have
two daughters Melissa and Pam and two grandsons Nathan and Joshua.
Garnet Chrisman, assistant professor of
education, was the recipient of the 2003
Award for Excellence in Teaching. This
award is made possible through the contributions
of alumni, Dr. Eleanor Mitts
Behrmann and Dr. Ralph M. Denham, both
members of the graduating class of 1936.
Chrisman is known among her students
for her open door policy. One colleague
Mrs. Garnet Chrisman
noted, “Her students always come first.”
According to one student, “She genuinely
shows a caring disposition to both her current and past students. She
is always trying to motivate her students to become the best professionals
they can be.”
Besides teaching, Chrisman’s responsibilities include supervising
student teachers, advising over 50 advisees, serving on departmental
committees and sponsoring the Kentucky Education Association
Student Program.
Chrisman is dedicated to her students, her husband, Chad, and
their two children, Jennifer and David.
Dr. George Ramey was recognized as a retiring member of the Cumberland
family, after 35 years of service. Ramey announced plans for
retirement last fall, with an effective date of August 31, 2003. This has
allowed time for a search for a replacement and for a transition period
once the new vice president was selected (see related story, page 13).
Jack Stanfill was also recognized as a
retiring staff member. For the past 37
years, Stanfill has worked in the financial
aid office at Cumberland College. It is not
often that one can spend his or her entire
career in one place.
Stanfill began his career at Cumberland
even before he entered high school. While
in grade school, Stanfill worked maintenance
for his little league baseball coach. It
was not until he was graduated from high
school that he would find work in the financial aid office.
As a freshman, Stanfill performed work-study in the financial aid office
for Richard Brashear, Cumberland’s first director of financial aid. Brashear
recruited Stanfill for the position; however, Stanfill warned he had
no experience. Brashear replied, “Neither do I, we will learn together.”
Upon graduation from Cumberland College in 1970, Stanfill
accepted the position of assistant director of financial aid. Six years later,
he was promoted to director. It is a job that he has lived and loved
for almost forty years. Stanfill states that his favorite part of the job
was, “helping students who otherwise couldn’t afford to attend college,
that is one thing I will miss the most.”
His love for his job in reinforced by the inspiration from his family:
Diane, his wife of 35 years, and his three children, Teresa, John
David, and Darren.
Kenneth Weedman was also recognized
as a result of his retirement from a 40-year
teaching career; 35 of which have been
spent in Cumberland’s art department.
Though the art department hasn’t
increased in size over the years, Weedman
points out that it has changed. One major
change Weedman said has taken place is the
growth of the college’s art collection. “When
I came that collection was probably no more
than 20 works, now it’s quite a collection.”
Mr. Jack Stanfill
Mr. Kenneth Weedman
The collection contains works such as etchings by Rembrandt and
master’s prints. It also contains contemporary works and a lot of European
artist’s works. “It’s nice to be able to show original works to your
students,” stated Weedman. “I think it helps a lot. It helps them learn.”
Following his retirement, Weedman’s plans include focusing his time
on his own artwork. He has already received several awards and has had
many of his works displayed in exhibits around the world. “I will be
able to just be an artist, I’ll be working for myself so I’m retiring but I’m
not going to quit working,” he said. Weedman also plans to travel.
“There are some places I’d like to revisit and then there are some
places I’d like to go that I never got to go to,” he said.
Though Weedman has had several accomplishments in his life, he
says, “I hope my greatest accomplishment is still ahead.”

Leaving A Legacy
Dr. George Ramey Annouces Retirement
Dr. George Ramey has held many titles in his life, from
construction worker to professor to photographer to
vice-president for business affairs and treasurer at Cumberland
College in his most recent job of 27 years.
When Ramey turns 65 years old in August, he’ll add yet another title
to his résumé. Retiree.
Ramey graduated college with a degree in sociology and he
majored in Hebrew and archeology in seminary. When he completed
graduate school in 1968, Ramey had been working full-time on
heavy construction in St. Louis for five months. “On the day of my
graduation, one of my major professors asked, ‘George, would you
like to teach at Cumberland College’ At that moment, I said, ‘I will
teach any place.’ A week later I signed a contract.” Ramey admits
that at the time he had heard of Cumberland, but had no idea
where it was.
After three months on the job at Cumberland, Ramey became the
college photographer for three years. Then he started teaching student
photographers, some of whom went on to work professionally in the
field. “We did a lot of actual developing in the dark room and had
them to the Whitley Republican or Corbin Times Tribune the next
morning in black and white using a four by five inch film,” he added.
After seven and a half years as a professor of old testament,
Hebrew, and archeology, college president Dr. J.M. Boswell, offered
Ramey the job of chief business officer. At first Ramey didn’t want
the job. “I said no for four months. When I couldn’t say no any
longer, I finally said yes. It was not an easy decision,” Ramey said.
“For several years my colleagues have asked, ‘Are you glad you made
the decision’ My answer always was, ‘It depends on which day you
ask.’ ” Ramey said he hesitated to take the job because he loved
teaching. One of Ramey’s conditions for taking the job as chief business
officer was that he be allowed to teach one course a semester,
which he did for more than 25 years. Ramey said it was only during
the last couple of years that he quit teaching in order to run the business
office full-time.
Ramey recalls Boswell made the decision to hire him as chief business
officer after he handled a delicate matter at church.
“I was able to communicate clearly what was needed at the
moment,” Ramey said. “It all began in a situation at First Baptist
Church where I was able to relieve some tension by explaining a
problem in the way the group could understand. “Dr. Boswell wanted
someone, who could communicate. I’m not an accountant, but I
can do accounting. I’m not a business officer, but I can communicate
to the various constituencies. I am a jack of all trades and a master
of none.”
While roasting Ramey during the annual faculty/staff recognition
dinner in April, Dr. Joe Early, the former vice-president for academic
affairs at Cumberland, noted that he often wondered what possessed
Dr. Boswell to put an archeologist in charge of the business office,
and what possessed Boswell’s successor, Dr. James Taylor, to keep
Ramey in that position for so many years. Early joked that it was
apparently to move a lot of dirt, which Ramey has successfully done
during his tenure in the form of campus building projects. “Archeology
training taught me how to
dig up small things,” Ramey said.
“In the business office for 28
years, I have been digging up
small things.” Among the things
Ramey has helped, “dig up,” during
his tenure at the college,
includes the O. Wayne Rollins
Center and the Cumberland Inn.
Ramey said he has stayed at
the job for so long because there’s
something different every day.
“There are no two days alike.
There are a variety of things,” he
said. “There have been many
problems and frustrations. It is Dr. George Ramey
sometimes difficult being the messenger of ‘say no, but keep everybody
happy.’ It has been worth it.” Ramey said he will miss everything
about his job. “By that I mean the constant variety. If I had to
sit at a desk and do the same job every day, whether it be putting
numbers in the general ledger, or teaching the same class every day
for 35 years, it would have been tiresome and boring,” he said.
Ramey said over the years, his challenges at Cumberland have
changed quite a bit. During his first 10 years as an administrator, the
focus was on moving all the college accounting systems onto one
central system as well as other bookkeeping work. During the following
10 years, Ramey said the two major accomplishments were
computerizing the campus, and changing the role of the college.
During that time, the campus was wired for the Internet and
computers were installed in all campus buildings. During the late
1980s, the college worked to redefine itself with some major program
changes coming as the result of the expansion of local community
colleges and extension centers.
During Ramey’s last 10 years at Cumberland, the focus has been on
building up the campus and other facilities at the college, such as the
football stadium, the Cumberland Inn, and the Rollins Center. Ramey
said he first began seriously thinking about retirement three and a half
years ago after having coronary bypass. “If I had not had the surgery,
I would probably be staying five more years, but things happen. I
adjust to it, and go on,” he said. “I’ll be leaving with many mixed emotions,”
Ramey admits. “People ask me, ‘Do you think you are making
the right move Are you happy about it’ I say, ‘Yes and no.’ ”
Ramey said he’s not sure exactly where he will go from here. He
plans to spend his first two years, doing what he wants to do when
he wants to do it. “After that I haven’t given serious thoughts,” he
said. Among the many things Ramey is mulling over is the possibility
of teaching seminary in another country for a year or two. Another
long term dream of Ramey’s is spending a few summers working
in archeology. Ramey said that he probably won’t be spending much
time fishing, but a few hours on the golf course is a possibility.

New Business
Poynter to Succeed Ramey as New
Vice President for Business
Mr. Barry Poynter, was recently
named as Cumberland
College’s vice president
for business affairs
elect, and he will assume his full duties
upon Dr. George Ramey’s retirement on
August 31, 2003. Poynter has most recently
served as assistant vice president for
finance and business at Berea College,
where he also previously held positions as
director of trust and investment administration,
associate controller, purchasing
Barry Poynter will
assume V.P. duties
on September 1.
manager and business manager of the Boone Tavern Hotel. Poynter
believes his 15 years of experience at Berea will serve him well for the
responsibilities at Cumberland.
“I am honest, hardworking, and dedicated,” said Poynter. “I don’t
have any big agenda.”
Poynter, 37, received a bachelor of science in business administration
at Berea College before going to Eastern Kentucky University
in Richmond, where he obtained a masters in business administration.
He has been a member of the board of directors for Berea
Credit Union and has served as its treasurer and secretary in recent
years. He has also held the position of assistant treasurer at Fairview
Baptist Church.
His experience at Berea College extends outside the business office.
As a head resident for six years, he was responsible for the functions
and activities of a residence hall, “dedicated to the development of
mature and responsible individuals within the context of the commitments,
standards and regulations of Berea College.”
Poynter’s other involvement at Berea College included chairing
the student life council and serving on the student conduct and campus
life committees.
“There’s so much to be done,” says Poynter. “We have so many
good, deserving youth. It’s a compelling reason to work at an
Appalachian college.”
Among his contributions to Berea College’s financial management
were the development and implementation of a campus-wide electronic
credit card acceptance program that reduced merchant fees. In
addition, he helped research and implement new policies and programs
related to cash management and spending, as well as facilitating
the use of new hospitality management software and SCT Banner
administrative software programs.
A product of the region, Poynter loves the hills and mountains
of Kentucky. He enjoys hiking, whitewater rafting and other outdoor
activities. Travel is also an interest, and Europe is a favorite
place to explore.
Being a devoted uncle with family near Berea, he feels a commitment
to the area’s young people.
“I have 10 nieces and nephews, ranging in age from one to 14
years of age, and they keep me busy with birthday parties alone!”
Poynter looks forward to utilizing his skills and contributing to
the development of opportunities for young people at Cumberland
College. He officially began his responsibilities on May 1, 2003.
“While Berea and Cumberland are distinctly different, they still
share many similarities. I am eager to begin my work at Cumberland.”
“Take care in your minutes, and the hours will take care of
themselves.”
— Lord Chesterfield
Cumberland College Among U.S. Best
U
.S. News and World Report again lists Cumberland
College among “America’s Best Colleges.” Moving up
to a second tier ranking this year, Cumberland is listed
as one of the South’s Best Universities — Master’s
formerly called “Regional Colleges and Universities.”
Cumberland President Jim Taylor said that he is very pleased to
see Cumberland’s academic quality recognized again by the national
publication. “We are strongly committed to excellence,” said Taylor.
The caliber of our faculty, our attention to student-faculty interaction
and our value oriented mission continue to make Cumberland
among the very best.”
In a separate listing, the Newsweek/Kaplan College Catalog 2003,
Cumberland is recognized nationally as a “hidden treasure.” Kaplan
defines a “hidden treasure” as “a small school that deserves more
national recognition.”
Kaplan conducted a nationwide survey, contacting guidance counselor’s
from around the country, for both public and private high
schools. Among the information the counselors shared, includes
which schools are perfect for the most academically competitive students;
which schools offer the best study abroad programs; which
schools offer the best value for the money and much more.

Commencement 2003
Bunning, Early and Trout Earn Degrees
Dr. Joe Early, Sr. (left), Senator Jim Bunning (center)
and Dr. Munroe Trout (right).
ver 200 Cumberland College graduates participated in commencement
exercises Saturday, May 10, with hundreds of friends and family
members looking on. The O. Wayne Rollins Center was filled to
capacity as the standing room only crowd participated in the recognition
of deserving students, outstanding faculty members and distinguished
guests.
On behalf of the Cumberland College Board of Trustees, Cumberland
President Jim Taylor presented three honorary degrees during the
commencement ceremony. The Board voted unanimously to bestow
the honor of doctor of administration upon Dr. Joe Early Sr. and the
honor of doctor of laws upon Dr. Monroe Trout and upon U.S. Senator
Jim Bunning, who also delivered the commencement address.
A citizen of Fort Thomas, Ky., Bunning has served the Commonwealth
for many years, but he is also known as a highly successful
Major League baseball player.
Pitching primarily for the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies,
Bunning accumulated a record of achievement that eventually won
him a seat in the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was the second pitcher
in history (Cy Young was the first) to record 1,000 strikeouts and
100 wins in both the National and American Leagues.
The same competitive spirit that made Bunning a Hall of Famer in
baseball has also served him well in public office. In 1977 Bunning
served as a member of the Fort Thomas City Council. Two years later,
he was elected to the Kentucky State Senate and during his first
term, he became Republican Leader. In 1986, Senator Bunning was
elected to the U.S. House of Representatives for the 4th District of
Kentucky and he served in
that capacity for 12 years.
On November 3, 1998, after
a competitive, hard-fought
campaign, Bunning was
elected to serve as U.S. Senator
for the Commonwealth
of Kentucky. In the 107th
Congress, Bunning was
assigned to the Senate
Armed Services Committee,
the Senate Committee on
Banking, Housing and Urban
Affairs and the Senate
Governmental Affairs Committee.
Bunning’s hard work
and active involvement in
economic issues quickly
won him the respect of his colleagues and a coveted seat on the influential
Finance Committee during the 108th Congress, making him
the first Kentuckian in nearly 40 years to serve on this powerful committee.
Bunning has also been assigned to the Senate Committee on
Energy and Natural Resources, the Senate Committee on Veterans’
Affairs, and the Senate Budget Committee.
Dr. Joe Early, Sr. is a native of Williamsburg. In addition to his
many years of service in the classroom and as vice president of academic
affairs at Cumberland College, Dr. Early has been a staunch
advocate for higher education in Kentucky and throughout the nation.
During his remarks Taylor said, “The success of Cumberland
College is due in part to the dedication, determination and discipline
of Dr. Joe Early. The academic aspect of the college flourished
under his direction and many of his former students and colleagues
are more successful because
of his influence.”
Active in civic affairs as
well, Early is currently a
member of the Williamsburg
City Council; a former
member of the
Williamsburg Independent
School Board, having
served one term as chairman;
former member and
treasurer of the Williamsburg
Recreation Commission;
and former member
of the Williamsburg City
Bond Authority.
Dr. Monroe Trout resides in Knoxville, TN, however he grew up in
Pennsylvania. Having both a medical degree and a law degree, Trout has
had a highly successful career.
He has held leadership positions with Dickinson Law School, Harrisburg
State Hospital, Harrisburg Polyclinic, Pfizer and Co,
Winthrop Laboratories, Sterling Drug, American Healthcare Systems,
and American Diversified.
His current positions include: Chairman Emeritus, American
Healthcare Systems; Chairman Emeritus, University of California
San Diego Foundation Board of Trustees; and Chairman Emeritus,
City Corporation. He is also a member of the Board of Directors for
the following entities: The West Company, Scientific Applications
International Corporation; and Baxter International. Dr. Trout also
serves as Chairman of the Board for I Need MD, Inc.
“In addition to his stellar professional career, Dr. Trout and his
wife Sandra have provided philanthropic gifts that have made, and
continue to make, significant impact,” Taylor commented.

Planned Giving
Looking for a Way to Help Your Alma Mater
Further the mission of Cumberland College by contributing
a charitable gift annuity and secure fixed annual payments,
now or during retirement, while also enjoying
generous tax advantages.
Payments for Life From Our
Charitable Gift Annuity
You can secure fixed annual payments for life by making a contribution
to Cumberland College. Our charitable gift annuity will pay
you (and a survivor, if desired) a fixed dollar amount when you make
an irrevocable gift to the college. The amount is determined by your
age at the time of your contribution.
Here are examples of the annuity rates. These increase with age, but
the rate remains constant once the gift is made.
Age Return Rate Ages Return Rate
50 5.3% 50/55 4.7%
55 5.5% 55/60 5.0%
60 5.7% 60/65 5.5%
65 6.0% 65/70 5.7%
70 6.5% 70/75 6.1%
75 7.1% 75/80 6.6%
80 8.0% 80/85 7.3%
85 9.5% 85/90 8.4%
90 11.3% 90/95 10.1%
* The rate of return is slightly lower for two lives because the period of
payment generally is longer. This example and the following assume
quarterly payments and a 5.2 percent charitable midterm federal rate.
Generous Income Tax Advantages
Assuming you itemize deductions, you can take a charitable deduction
for part of the value of your gift when you file that year’s income tax
return. The amount depends on your age. The percent of the transfer
that is deductible as a contribution varies based on U.S. Treasury tables.
Example: Harriet, age 70, gives Cumberland College $25,000 to
fund a gift annuity for herself. She is allowed a charitable contribution
deduction of $9,632.10.
A sizable part of each annuity payment is also tax free, again determined
by Treasury tables.
When a charitable gift annuity is funded with appreciated property,
the up-front capital gains tax that would have been owed if the
property had been sold is avoided. A portion of the annuity amount
is reported as capital gain income over your life expectancy if you
name yourself as one of the annuitants. The net effect is to reduce the
tax-free portion of the annuity payments.
Use a Deferred Payment Gift Annuity to
Supplement Your Retirement Funds
Instead of securing an immediate payment under a gift annuity, you
can have it deferred until a later date, such as your retirement. You
make the contribution now, securing a current income tax charitable
deduction, and Cumberland College will pay you fixed annual payments
starting at any age you choose. This is especially advantageous
if your tax bracket is higher now than it will be later. In addition, the
annual payout rate is considerably higher when the payments begin.
For many people, tax reform curtailed the tax benefits of IRAs, 401(k)
plans and other retirement plans. The deferred payment gift annuity is
a good way to make up for the loss of the future funds you may need.
Example: Fred and Ann are both age 45. They transfer $2,000 annually
to a series of joint and survivor gift annuities, arranging for payments
to start when they reach age 65. Fred and Ann are in a 27 percent
tax bracket, and they itemize their deductions. The first year they
deducted $624 of the $2,000 transferred. The amount of their deduction
decreases slightly each year thereafter. Based on then-current rates,
they would receive $4,092 each year (partly tax free) beginning at age
65, a rate of 10.2 percent on their contributions totaling $40,000.
Worry-Free Funds
A charitable gift annuity is a gift that gives you fixed and attractive
retirement funds with no investment worries or responsibilities. It
also provides a way for you to make a special and enduring gift to
support Cumberland College when the remainder becomes available
for our needs.
We will be glad to explain the specific financial benefits you can enjoy
by participating in a charitable gift annuity. Please feel free to contact:

Tribute Program
Honor or Memorialize a Loved One
What is a Tribute Gift
A Tribute Gift shows love and respect for the person being honored
or memorialized. It says to others that the world is a better place
because of this person.
Through a Tribute Gift to Cumberland College, a memory of the
past or an honor of the present is tied to the future, as it is made to
live on in the lives of our students.
The size of the gift you send is up to you. Many send the amount
they would spend on floral arrangements. Gifts generally range from
$15 to $1,000, but the right amount for you is the one your heart
tells you to send.
An Honor Gift is a gift which shows admiration and respect for
a loved one or friend on a significant day in their life such as a birthday,
anniversary, etc.
A Memorial Gift is a gift in memory of a departed loved one or
friend. It is a wonderful way to express sympathy and high regard or
as a means to remember birthdays, anniversaries, or other special
days of a deceased loved one.
How are Tribute Gifts Acknowledged
For a Memorial Gift the family of the one you wish to memorialize
is sent an appropriate card the same day the gift is received
by the college. Then the name of the giver and the deceased will be
listed in the next issue of Cumberland Today.
For an Honor Gift the person being honored is sent an appropriate
card listing the honor giver as well as the occasion for the honor.
Then the name of the giver and the name of the honoree will be
listed in the next issue of Cumberland Today.
For all Tribute Gifts, the amount of the gift is kept confidential,
and all gifts are tax deductible as allowed by law.
How will your Tribute Gift Help
Your gift will provide a lasting legacy for our students as it is
used to help provide scholarship and workship assistance, books,
supplies, food and housing, and many other supportive services.
If you would like to send a gift to be included in our Tribute
Gift Program,please send the gift along with the appropriate additional
information to:
Rick Fleenor
Director of Alumni Services
Cumberland College
6191 College Station Drive
Williamsburg, KY 40769
Listings reflect Tribute Gifts received, June 16, 2002 through May 23, 2003. In
preparing this list, every effort has been made to insure accuracy and completeness.
If a mistake was made in the way you are identified or if your name was omitted, we
apologize. You can help set the record straight. Please notify the President’s Office
regarding any changes in the way your gift should be recorded in future reports.
Thank you.
