i i 1. 1', HUN ! Dedicated TO THOSE WHOSE FOOTSTEPS HAVE HALLOWED THE HALLS WHICH WE NOW TREAD Jim mu... Twoscore and ten years ago our trustees brought forth in East StroudSr burg, Pennsylvania, a new institution conceived for the ideals of education and dedicated to the proposition that all ambitious men should have an opportunity to learn. Now we are engaged in the fiftieth year of that insti' tution testing whether education or any other high ideals can long endure in the present world conflict. We are met here on the steps of Stroud Hall. We have come to dedicate the 1943 STROUD as a tribute to those who here studied that truth, honesty, and integrity might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we do this-ibut in a larger sense we cannot pay the proper homage due them. The women and men, living and dead, who studied here have consecrated our Alma Mater above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we write here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the Class of 1943, rather to be dedicated to the unhnished work which they who studied here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored Alumni we take increased inspiration to that cause for which they gave their full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these Alumni shall not have contributed in vain; that this institution under the protection of God and the guidance of our capable administration and faculty continue the advance of education that the ideals established by the Alumni for a future generation shall not perish from this campus! 6
