TO THE WHISPERINGS OF A MULTITUDE OF CREATIONS THAT SPEAK A VARIOUS LANGUAGE. TREES, STREAMS, MEADOW SINGERS, CREATURES OF THE WILD, THE RHYTHMIC MOVEMENTS OF GREAT FIELDS OF GRAIN, THE PUNGENT ODOR OF THE GOOD EARTH—ALL THESE AND MORE—THESE ARE AMERICA, WHEkE MEN AND WOMEN CAN THINK, WORSHIP AND ASPIRE IN A FREE LAND THAT HAS BEEN PURCHASED AND PAID FOR AGAIN AND AGAIN BY THE BRAVERY AND BLOOD OF ITS OWN. THIS IS AMERICA, WHERE THE FARM BOY BECOMES PRESIDENT AND WHERE ARE BRED THE GREAT SCIENTIST, THE WORLD-FAMED AUTHOR, THE STATESMAN, THE BELOVED POET, AND AN ENDLESS NUMBER OF BENEFACTORS TO MANKIND. HERE, WHERE THE AIR IS CLEAR AND WHERE FREE EXPRESSION IS INVITED, AND WHERE ALL NATIONAL ORIGINS ARE MELTED INTO THE ONE —AMERICAN. THIS IS WHAT GENERAL PATTON NEVER FAILED TO POINT OUT TO THE HUMBLEST SOLDIER UNDER HIS COMMAND—THE SACREDNESS AND GLORY OF BEING JUST AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF US ALL NEVER TO LET AMERICA DOWN, NEVER TO SELL IT SHORT, NEVER TO DESERT ITS IDEALS, NEVER TO LET IT BE ASHAMED OF US. WE ARE ITS SPIRITUAL CRIERS IN A WILDERNESS OF CONFUSION, DEFEATISTS, AND FAULT-FINDERS. WE ARE AMERICA. WE ARE ITS INHERITORS. LET US SO ENRICH IT THAT IT SHALL BECOME AN INHERITANCE FOR THE ENTIRE EARTH! LIBERTY ENLIGHTENING THE WORLD! (GEORGE MATHEW ADAMS.) TO THIS REPRESENTATIVE AMERICA WE ARE HAPPY TO DEDICATE THE 1946 SAPULPAN. MAY OUR STUDENTS BE DILIGENT AND LOYAL IN CARRYING OUT THESE IDEAS AND IDEALS. 9
