3 d c 3D 3D I D □ 0 □ Jfotreworb OST excellent reader: If in this brief story of our undergraduate days at Fordham you shall find something which gives you pleasure, we will be glad. If it shall cause the men who in the past have shared the joys which the Class of Nineteen-Seventeen are now newly leaving, to recall for a passing moment the mellowed memories of their college days, we will have counted our work well worth while. If in the years to come the perusal of these pages shall help our classmates to live anew, across the void of time, the golden days which we have spent together in the lecture hall and on the campus, we will deem our task happily accomplished.

OUR COUNTRY THERE is ho argument, no matter how highly conceived nor splendidly worded, to prove an unalloyed devotion to one’s country — nor is any needed. Abstractions sound like hollow-fallacies beside the stern cold fact of deeds done. And deeds there are without number, which prove beyond the peradventure of a doubt the sterling metal of Fordham’s patriotism, and the absolute devotion of her sons to the government of the United States, to its President, and to all things American. To follow' in the great footsteps of those sons of Alma Mater who have served their country in the past, on her battlefields, in the chambers of her councils, and in the less prominent walks of private life, is the privilege and the desire of the Class of Nineteen-seventeen.
