k PICRC€ HALL Unmoved by Nature ' s furies, unstained by man ' s fool deeds. Seven decades and five you withstood them all. And from the fruit of your womb came forth the seeds That today incur your fall. Once men built this holy shrine And ardent scholars came to kneel And sought to know the art divine Of teaching what thy laws reveal. f You gave them to feel that by thy power Bright hopes could deck the darkest ho ur; Taught rising youth thy golden light To cheer the groping students ' sight. But Art and Science built in vain, For thou, sacred fane. Hast felt thy last embrace — The mallet and the chisel are gouging out thy face. To thy great purpose, so well propounded, We, who drank deep of thy flowing fountain, Pledge our hearts and deeds to the goal you founded; May our steps falter not to the crest of Life ' s mountain.

DCDICIITIOn To the United Nations, its organs and its members is dedicated the 1947 Aurora. Aurora, the rosty-fingered dawn of a day of peace, appears on the distant horizon. A day wherein the council table supplants the k battlefield, and the architects of ideas and ideals replace the engineers of death and destruction. May the day be warm and clear, and niav sunset never come. To the United Nations we dedicate the Aurora and to Peace we dedicate ourselves. Page Five
