Through many difficulties the college has passed anil will yet pass, I ml al- ways it has emerged possessing the renewed capability of improving itself. Many wars it has survived, and yet another it faces — but today Alma Mater faces her future with the strength of experience. In sacrifice, in patriotism, and in preparedness Louisburg stands ready, as in every American war since the Revolution, to give all that nobleness demands.
