The Conning Tower of 1933 Mrs. Mabel Haigh Matron Mrs. Minnie Lcathcrbury Matron Samuel Read Hall Dormitory Mrs. Edith A. Beal Dietitian Mary Lyon Hall Revelation A voice crying in the wilderness, a prophet stoned, The ages pass. The undiscovered truth yet unrevealed Lies hidden in the hearts and minds of men. God does not seek the guise of miracle To show His truth. His medium is man, whose gift of creativity Discovers revelation. Each modicum of truth reveals His law. The dreams, the accumulated strivings of forgotten ones Prepared the changing order of our day. He has not spoken all to ages past. The racial vision widens through the years And through the aeons. Goodwill and peace were promised when the Christ was born. Man must achieve it, deny the childish hope of magic, face reality. God rules that man himself must find the way To higher things. Must struggle and evolve to loftier planes. The meaning of each life is contribution Intelligence, forbearance, courtesy, Man’s greatest hope. His surest promise is his own potentiality. [22] Elsie E. W. Davis
