c end ree 6 So n6 As before, McKendree is watching her proteges put aside those imple- ments of war to pick up their school books. The Christian education and love of country for which our Alma Mater has stood, regardless of any civil and world strife, is again welcoming back her sons to prepare them for Christian and democratic living. The youth, who have returned, will find McKendree understanding and appreciative. She, too, sent her sons, who whole-heartedly fought, that vic- tory for the ideals upon which our country was founded might be secured. In the note of welcome, however, there is some sadness. There are those who have gone out from these portals whose lives were exchanged for the realization of America ' s ideals. They cannot be forgotten for they are part of McKendree and her heritage.

WJco me It is to those sons of our Alma Mater who have so courageously gone forth to defend the liberties of all free men everywhere — to those who have given most and asked least in return — was written as the dedi- cation for the 1943 McKENDREAN. That was a war-time dedication to those whom we appreciated most! Now, in peace-time, with fellow- students back who have doffed the khaki and have donned the gown, we build the theme of the 1946 McKENDREAN.
