PRO DEO, D O M O, P A T R I A 00 KS are wonderful things, for they tell us so much. Books are also strange things, for we can ' t make of them exactly what we wish. They are no better and no greater than the individuals whom they mirror. Fellow students, it is you who have written this book since it is a revelation of that institution of which you are a very real part. As you have helped the book to grow, so also should you be contributing to the achievements of our college. That Mary Washington College has attained external growth is evidenced by the new capitals and columns that have been added about our campus. Columns and capitals indicate a striving for that which is sturdy and permanent and that which is grand in simplicity, for columns reach towards God. The columns of our campus ought to be built of more than granite. They should be symbolic of the personal columns that we ourselves are building. Are they a vain groping for something higher, or are they columns crowned with the capitals of inward happiness, humility, service, and — democratic living? Are they built upon a recognition of the stark realities that confront us? Are they established with a resolve to meet and challenge these realities? Throughout this book the structure and composition of our columns has been indicated, and pranks and pleasures, activities and goals have been included as well. We hope that we have told the whole story. We leave it for you, however, to determine whether the columns we have shown are being crowned for God, for Home, and for Country.

tea 1. I TO MEMBERS OF OUR FACULTY WHO HAV t ' OCi ' ENTERED THE SERVICE OF OUR COUNTR HKOUGHOUT the centuries of man ' s experience there has lain deep within the heart, the soul of man a poignant, innate ardor that ignites in response to a struggle for freedom. Call it honor, call it sacrifice, call it duty or patriotism — as you will. There is always in that response the basic recognition of the ever-existing paradox that one must sacrifice freedom in order to maintain freedom. In ijj6, men called that response a spirit ; in 1942, men call it service. Reverently we utter our thanks toward a God who has placed in the hearts of men that flame — incandescent in its kinship with the divine. Of such (Quality is that vital desire to strive for an ideal beyond the individual himself and to seek to attain a democracy beyond the limits of one land of one people. In ig42 we call it service; yet we remember that it was endowed us through measure of what men formerly termed the ' ' spirit of j ytf.
