HIS WORDS SHALL LIVE. This ivy chain upon which our hands are set is a symbol of that tie of love, as real and strong if not as tangible, which binds the sons and daughters of Eureka College to each other. But the full symbolism of this ivy chain is deeper yet. The ivy not only binds, it reaches ever upward. It typifies also, then, the finest aspiration of our hearts, the aspira- tion reaching upward to the ideals of our Alma Mater, the venerable nurse of our souls. l think that you are particularly fortunate in having attended a Christian college where there is a vital faith in one sure unchanging loving power which still rules the world. We like to call this power Our Father and Our God. We believe that His hand has shaped and is today shaping the course of history. We believe the strutting, pasturing, ranting, self-styled dictators cannot hinder the accom- plishments of God's eternal purposes, although, alas, they are causing untold suffering, ruin, and bloodshed in their puny striving. To college men and women college loyalties are strongest. There is the loy- alty of college friends. When you are five or ten years out and chance upon a churn of college days in the throng of some metropolis or in the general store at some crossroads village there will be re- joicing beyond measure because not only have you met one into whose ready ears you can pour tales of long ago and from whose lips you can drink in racy remin- iscences, but one whose hand you can clasp and feel full of confidence. No, there is nothing quite so sweet as the friendships of college days. My earnest wish for you of i938 is that you have laid up for yourselves a goodly treasure of these.
