Dedication THE EXPRESSION to take stock of originated in the world of business. A corporation pauses after a certain period to evaluate its progress and to revise or modify its policies for the coming years. In this sense, Elizabethtown College this year is taking stock of her progress since 1898 and has made her slogan for the time, Six Decades of Service. This service has been accomplished in many ways: through organiza- tions, faculty, guidance, companionship, but always with the prayerful attitude of showing gratefulness to her Maker by giving of her best to strengthen the world. During this year our thoughts turn backward to re-live and recapture the growth of Elizabethtown College from her humble, unpretentious beginnings to the present with its program of expansion and extension. We realize at this time the solidity of foundation and heritage upon which Elizabethtown can build a bright future, carrying on her motto of Education for Service. Her capacity and capabilities are great; the motivating force of a dedication to serve God is strong. Because of the opportunity given to our College ' s future, we dedicate this issue of the Conestogan to the 60th anniversary of Elizabethtown College and to all of those who have contributed in any way to her growth and maturity.
