Ten Erhiratinn HE Garfield High School buildings and grounds were dedicated to the purposes of education May 7, 1926. This date marks the completion of the build- ings and the equipment of them. Dedication exercises were held in the morning and evening. A11 classes, departments, and equipment were open for inspection. Let us now with earnest hearts and with exalted faith and hope solemnly consecrate this building to its high and holy purpose. May the youth of this community for generations to come gather in this place to receive instruction and knowledge and training in virtue. May they find here every condition necessary to a true and enlightened education. Especially, may their teachers be ex- amples of excellence in scholarship and character, seekers after goodness and truth, lovers of chil- dren, enthusiasts and adepts in the finest of all arts, the development and inspiration of human souls. May these rooms always be pervaded with an invigorating atmosphere of mental and moral life, and may no child pass from these schools to higher grades or to the outer world without having been made more intelligent, more thought- ful, more courageous, more virtuous and in every way more capable of wise and just, of useful and noble living. To this end, may the blessing of God be upon child and parent, upon pupil and teacher, upon principal and superintendent and upon every one whose influence will in any degree affect the work of education as it shall be con- ducted within these wallsf, Dr, W. H. Scott President Ohio State U11i'uo1'sity
