ing year we felt more and more that we were a part of Houghton, that Houghton was a part of us. Then came Pearl Harbor and war. Each month numbers of our men were called into their country's service. As we saw them go, as we saw the cost of living soaring, as we heard rumors of other small liberal arts colleges being forced to close, we wondered. We won- dered if Houghton would 'be able to maintain her standards, if the college of which we had become so much a part must cease to function. We felt the spir- it of Houghton in the choir, in the bas- ketball games, in the publications offices, in our bull sessions, in our associations and even in our clandestine pranks. We felt it in chapel, in church, and in our class devotions. Houghton and Houghton atmosphere meant more to us than we made any attempt to say. With the war, the spirit which has al- ways distinguished Houghton became even stronger in order to keep alive, not only the school itself, but also the activi- ties and the ideals of 'the institution. When we returned this fall, we found a I Houghton, which, though changed, still preserved her standards, her principles, 'her faith. We saw her strong spirit ex- emplified in our faculty who, diminished in numbers, carried heavier schedules that we might enjoy college as usual. We understood a little of her spirit when we heard our president say, But for God, the existence of Houghton would be im- possible. We realized, when we heard from our servicemen, how great was our responsibility to deserve the opportuni- ties we had in Houghton. We felt that we should maintain and improve her qualities of scholarship and spirituality. Grown from an insignificant semin- ary, grown to a distinctive college, grow- ing to a fuller, wider influence, ,Hough- ton symbolizes not only scholasticism, but also idealism, not only intelligence, but also maturity, not only knowledge, but also spirituality. So it is to Houghton College, for her past accomplishments, for her present vitality, and for her future potentialities for service, to her teachers, her students, to her Christ, to the intang- ible spirit of Houghton we dedicate this, the l9-44' Boulder. .. . and social maturation.
