ITf Tm i WWPl![W ' ' ' ' V ' ' ON THIS DAY when the serenity that comes with peace is but a memory, when our every thought is turned to production efficiency at home and battles on distant shores, it is fitting that college students, future leaders of America, pause a moment and give thought to that which may come after the ordeal is over. First will come victory, with its exhiliration and glory, and then years of rehabilitation and reconstruction. In preparation for this day are we working — work- ing here in Lewisburg by preparing ourselves to be f arsighted in deal- ing with our fellow men, and out beyond, by making the world safe for our way of life. It is not enough to dedicate this book to our fighting men, for they would not have it so. They have proven that their thoughts and hopes go far beyond themselves, and so we dedicate our book to the ideals for which they are fighting. They seem to say to us in the words of John McCrae. To you from falling hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flander ' s Field. In Flander ' s Fields all over the world, Bucknellians are laying down their lives that we may have the torch to carry on. It is to catch this flaming brand that we are preparing ourselves, it is for this that Bucknell stands. Those who have climbed the hill before us, those dication who have sacrificed the serenity of home and college, are laying the ground work for victory and for a better world thereafter. We must catch the torch they fling us and carry on the Crusade against despo- tism and tyranny. In this fifty-third edition of L ' Agenda we have tried to pic- ture the Bucknell we see, as it has been moulded by world events. Gone are many of the gay times, but we do not linger on their mem- ory. Instead we look to the future — ready to catch the torch and hold it high. To this ideal, we reverently dedicate our book.
