Lee EPISCOPAL CHURCH Reverend Harry Cobev u)edlcatlon In little more than hvc years after a turmoil that shook the earth to its very depths, the world is again in conflict and chaos. More and more upon the lips and in the hearts of men is the timeless question: how can men learn to li c together in peace? Over all the doubts, the fears, the insecurity, the church remains an anchor, an answer in itself to this cjuestion. Since 1787 — eleven years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence —this school as a church institution has worked toward the combining of education and religion in an eflbrt to point out to its students the ways that man can survive and benefit others through his knowledge and beliefs. This annual is dedicated with admiration to the part that this small junior college is playing in its own seemingly unimportant way to produce better citizens for a world that places its hope in the future. li e Jronor 2)r.
