Building Our Dreams On A Stone Foundation Converging upon this hallowed place For close to a century of autumn opening days And springtime commencement convoca- tions We have come from various states with- in our land And from distant spots throughout the world. The maples have grown taller to spread a broader, welcoming shade. The steadfast oaks have sent their roots even deeper into the rugged soil. Their presence has reflected strength and represented Wisdom with each new homecoming and with each new Founder’s Day. This place of learning is to us a Living Stone and a firm foundation. It has nurtured many who have come and gone before us. Great men and women have trod these familiar paths. We now walk upon them with hopeful but unsteady steps. The way seems brighter as we discover truths within these heritage filled walls, For staunch pioneers have paved the way with their unyielding struggles and with their fervent prayers. We walk upon this memorable spot, and we learn myriad facts about its Greatness. We are aware of the legacies bequeathed by those who Passed this way. Ours is a stone foundation because our fathers made it so with their labor And with their dedication. Our teachers have been great, and they have moved across the stage of time And left our Precious Stone enriched by their mementoes and their contributions. The sands from our Majestic Stone have not drifted aimlessly, but through the Eventful years, they have moved with sure direction into places of high calling In the fields of human endeaver. And each grain has contributed its peculiar Message to the overall sermon of the Eternal Stone. Every day we hear echoes of their greatness as they come to us upon the wings and waves of media. New grains continue to gather upon this Mighty Stone to make for- ever stronger. O great and wonderful Stone, the strength of our lives: May God’s blessings ever Be upon you and upon those who seek knowledge at your altar. Strong Stone, Stand forever! Many scholars and many late bloomers are yet to come who will build their dreams on your stone foundation. by Mattie Temple Tatum Lakin
