12 the promethean c[icaturp TO Hwight Oliver Wendell Holmes SJ- HE one year during WHICH WE, the Class of 1938, have known you as President of Morgan has been, alas, much too short as President of Morgan has been, for us to have learned the value of your whole- hearted efforts in cooperating with and inspiring us. As we are about to venture forth from dear Morgan, it is our sincere hope that the commend- able work which you have begun will become a heri- tage of the school. As a symbol of our regard, we dedicate to you this book, the realization of our dream and result of our labor, so that you may have at hand in years to come a memorial of our loving respect for you.

14 ™E PROMETHEAN npHE Godlike Promethean, benefactor of humanity, stood chained to the rock amidst loneliness, suffering and woe, and exhibited a spirit characterized by long endurance, patient energy, and dauntless determin- ation. It is a spirit not unlike this that we, the graduating class of 1938, have striven to attain during our four years of College life. Seldom has there been a call of our Alma Mater to which we have not attempted to re- spond gladheartedly. So inviolable is the part she has played in our lives that to us she has become the Holy of Holies, where is enshrined the memories of blissful College years. It is our sincere hope that everything which springs forth from the College goes out reflecting our cherished ideals and spirit. We trust that “The Promethean”—a symbol of our united effort, zeal, energy, and en- thusiasm will faithfully reproduce those activities which have well served their purpose in preserving in us these noble ideals and best traditions of the school. If it does this, its success will be guaranteed, because our schoolmates whom we leave will gain inspiration, and something of the school’s spirit will be communicated through it to its readers.
