17 A I It in n i John J. Bjelke Executive Secretary Francis W. Shepardson Chairman of Alumni Council men may go; faculty and administration may change, but the college life persists. Too much of love, life, devotion, dreaming, and sacrifice have been poured into Denison to permit of an easy death. Each generation of students pours in another full measure Youth continues to sit under trees on the hill-tops. Youth continues to dream dreams. Invariably the air castles built with the millions yet to be acquired include larger and statelier halls for Denison. And let ' s not forget that what is known as Denison University is nothing more than dreams-come-true. Alumni Council KIRTLEY F. MATHER ' 09, Cam- bridge, Mass., President JOHN J.
