Kemp, one of our most beloved teachers and presidents, the Roman mother who sent her sons into battle for the state is symbolic of the college, the Alma Mater, who prepares her sons to serve by teaching. The students of this college humbly realize this symbolism and proudly undertake its obligation. But there is also a material Way in which the monument represents the Alma Mater. This statue was the first part of the college we met as We started up the Walk to Stroud Hall as freshmen. During the next four years We passed that figure a dozen times a day, seeing it in spring sunshine and under a mantle of Winter snow. Finally as we left the campus it was the statue to which we could say our last good-byes. Because this monument is so much a part of our lives, it has not seemed irreverent to give it a name. When We say Oakes or Stroud, we can see these familiar buildings. So, when We say lulia, We are able to visualize the service monument. We refer to Iulia always affectionately. lf, sometimes, it may seem amusedly, this lightness is to disguise the emotion We have for her message. With her name Iulia has taken on a distinct personality. No longer cold stone, she has a heart and a spirit that is sympathetic to our youth. Because of this, We can sincerely say that hers is the spirit of the college itself, and of the years We have spent here. . ln paying tribute to Iulia in the Stroud, We of the Class of 1941 are really saying that We recognize our obligation to serve. Our college has prepared us for this duty by giving us living examples of service in the members of the administration and facultyg by providing organizations to train our talents and condition our bodies g by giving us mental discipline to inspire teachingg and by bringing together a group of have been brought into harmony.
