The American Heritage is not something that can be defined by a series of platitudinous catch-words such as we learned in the ele- mentary schools; it is rather the embodiment of a great many in- tangible factors which aggregately produced the America of today. Men like Lincoln and Washington helped America through its most critical periods, but our country’s progress up to the mid-point of the twentieth century is equally attributable to other men whose names have been forever lost in the Limbo reserved for the souls of unsung heroes. Men have two debts incurred at birth: debts to those who will come after him and debts to those who have come before. The lay- men who have a thousand names, who gave us freedom, and per- haps the most important to us in this phase of our lives, our system of education. For freedom’s roots have not merely survived, they have grown, they have been nourished .... they have been fed and lived and’ strengthened by education. The American men of today, then, owe their present existence to the institutionalized foundation of learn ing as set up by their forefathers. This year we recognize this man, Mr. American Heritage, ded- icated to Education. He is you and I, all of us, every American we know .... without exception. To this man—Mr. American Herit- age, we present Hobart College’s Echo oj the Senecti for 1956. 5
