-1. FROM OUR lPRlESlllDlEN'l's At sea in a storm the ship will now rise on the crest of the wave to unbelievable heights, now go down, deep down, into the very depths of the storm-wrought trough. That is the story also of Luther College. Vilhen the Main Building was dedicated in ' If 1865 Luther was on the crest of a mighty wave. The fire of 1889 brought her down where ruins told the story of her greatness. Then like the phoenix she rose again from the ashes. She soared to greater heights o ser- rr vice and well being. Larsen Hall, Loyalty Hall, the hospital, Koren Library, the C. K. Preus Gymnasium were added. The staff and the enrollment were several times doubled. Tihen came the fire of 1942. Again Old Main went down. XVe entered the war. Our boys and many of our teachers entered the ser- vice. Down in the trough? Yes, but rising again. The blood plasma of a 5B300,000 build- ing fund was given. The architect tells us a little more is needed. The church, the alum- ni, and other friends have spoken their i'R'9SLl1'Q'3.l11i', and are still working. Through them God is lifting Luther up. The boys will, God willing, come back after the war. Larsen will be remodeled for them. A women's dormitory will rise. The enrollment of women will grow. Instructors now serving our country will return. Luther will ride again on the crest of the wave. The chimes from D a new tower will ring: t'To Luther let us sing. And in thousands of hearts will echo and re-echo the old motto, Soli Deo Gloria! I . X' ORLANDO WARREN QUALLEY A.B., A.M., rn D.
