...A FOREWURD The year T964 marks the one hundred, seventy- fifth observance of the ratification of the Constitution of the United States. lt is partly for this reason that we have chosen the Constitution as the theme of the T964 ECHO. We say partly because it is not necessary to choose a special year, such as its one hundred, seventy-fifth birthday, to bear in mind the logical, yet ideal, provisions of the American Constitution. These provisions have given our Constitution an enduring quality which has enabled it to withstand all conceivable types of stresses and trials. These were, at the beginning of our history, the problems of join- ing all of our separate and stubbornly individualistic states into one united and independent nation. Later when the united nation was about to be torn asunder by internal strife which was to be known as the Civil War, the Constitution held firm. The same Constitution still serves us today. With- out its guidance the tragic assassination of President John F. Kennedy might have resulted in confusion and chaos. As it was, our government changed hands smoothly and quickly. We believe that the men who conceived this Con- stitution have earned a place of noble honor in our Hall of Fame, and the men who toiled for its preser- vation, a place in our hearts forever. So at this time, we pledge ourselves to loyalty to it and the country for which it was composed. Thus we have selected the Constitution of the United States of America as our theme. We hope that we will, in a small way, be able to convey to others our admiration and respect for this document.
