Almighty and eternal God, Creator, Sustainer, and our Father God, Through whose providence we come into being, By whose sustaining power we live, Under whose judgment our days are measured. In awe and humility, we recognize Thy majesty, Thy holiness, and Thy wisdom, And we bow in adoration. On this special day, in this place, we remember before Thee, Lees-McRae, thankful for its growth and out- reach; saluting its past; grateful for its present; con- fident in our hope for its future. We who are Trustees, Advisors, Administrators, Faculty, Students, Friends, the Help (so essential), find ourselves in agreement on the worthwhileness of this college: appreciative of its resources: its classrooms, its library, its dormitories, its playing fields and courts, its student union, its dining halls, its good name in the memory of so many who have been here and do not forget. Help them to be loyal to its tradition, which seeks to line together a sound mind and a sound body. Stir up within them and us the willingness to bring past and present into a valid and fruitful partnership. So may Lees-McRae become even better and greater in the heart of the church which supports it, and in the hearts of men and women, who believe in linking common sense and faith, to the honor and glory of this academic family. Then, to Thee, God, they shall say: Thank you. For Thou hast helped them to do good things for Thee, and for not a few of the generations of students. And, when the end comes, Stay close, Lord, Abide with us. Amen and Amen. H H n M M M m M w n m M m M M
