DEDIC TIO HIC 1946 AlJ.llf'l'1XNT is dedicated to the memory of those former cadets and faculty who lost their lives in XVorld XVar II. All too recently, it seems, their names and faces were familiar on our campus . . . faces eager in a natural antici- pation of a place in society and the opportunities offered in a normal life-span. Many were, indeed, young men of splendid promise. Their contribution to home. professional and community life would unquestionably have bee11 outstanding. Such will be the loss in many communities of many states . . . that of such leadership as men of this calibre alone can offer. But today there would be no homes, communities nor states, as we Ameri- cans think of those institutions, were it not for a far greater contribution of which these dedicatory pages are in respectful and humble memory. 'I'hese young men and thousands whom they typify met the challenge to sacrifice. Scarcely having assumed the mantle of young manhood, eager in expectation of life's promise, when the chips were down, they met life's sternest realities with classic self-effacement and fortitude. Their conduct far transcended the petty greeds and self-interest of which, individually and collectively, we find ourselves too often capableg once again set a magnificent example belying the power of speech to enhance. XVe at lXl2lSS2ll1llll,Cl1 are proud of our fallen comrades, and of those, spared to return, over eight hundred in number, who so valiantly joined the vanguard in defense of our way of life. To those of us who so richly benefit from the sacrifices tlms made in our behalf, the memorable words delivered at Gettysburg again ring with profound meaning: ll is rallzcr for 115 to Inf fI!'l'!' r1'r'r1i1'nlcd lo II11' grcnl task 1'm1111z'11111g bcforz' 115 llml from these l1o11o1'r'r1' dzfrrd we lake 1'11c1'1'11.s'1'c1 1I1'11ol1o11 Io llml t'I1IlSI' for z1'l111'l1 llrcy gave ilu' Ir1.s'l full 111r'11s11re of 111'1111lio11,' llml we llerr' l11'gl1ly 1'f'.ml111' llml llmsc dcnd shall 1111! 1111116 died in Y'IIflI,' H1111 lllis llfllftlll, 'zmdcr Gr11l,.vl111ll 1111110 rt new f1i1'll1 of fI4!?C'0f07I1j and lllnl go11r'1'11111e1'1t of lim people, by ll1e people, for lim j11foj1fff, shall noi j11'1'1'.s'l1 from 1116 l?!lVffl.H
