Calling to the Students T HE POWER of forts and regiments was required to control the haughty , stern- spirited Red Man. Eort Hays is our reminder of the unconquerable spirit which ruled the Plains. It is altogether fitting and proper that the land which once sewed the nation s soldiers as a home while they were winning the Plains for cultivation , should now serve the State of Kansas in educating her young men and women to live a life of high service and happy citizenship. The Eort Hays Kansas A ormal School is surrounded with a halo of tradition. Men whose indomitable spirit made them the heroes of our nation , have tramped over our campus and bivouacked on the banks of our lake , and have cooked their meager meals on camp-fires replenished from our woods. Their spirits are calling in bugle-notes to our boys and girls. Their example sets before us a lesson of superb courage , of true comradeship , of clean lives , of unselfish devotion to their people , to their state , and to their nation. The senior has marched on the parade-grounds of unconquerable spirits , has picnicked on the camp- ground of indomitable warriors , has breathed the air of the Plains expanse , and has the same field of vision over which have looked the greatest men of our nation. With such a heritage and such a pres- ence , the senior and the alumnus must live a life of splendid sendee and the undergraduate has for his goal a life of high ambition.
