IN DEDICATION Km A man is known not by the things which he possesses but by the things which poses him -Dr. Richard l. McKinney In choosing a person to whom we would like to dedicate the PROMETHEAN for l96l, our main con- siderations were neither educational achievements, organizational activities, nor any like criteria. It is certain, however, that the person whom we chose could meet any of these requirements. We were not even particularly concerned with any functions which he might have performed on behalf of Alma Mater although the fact that he was chosen Alumnus of the Year 1959-60 would indicate the outstanding quality of his contributions to the betterment of the Morgan community. We have chosen him for no other than the great- est and most difficult-to-meet of all reasons-for what he, as a man, represents. He is, in our esti- mation, the personification of that spirit which we have attempted to capture in Our theme- REFLEC- TIONS. . . IMPRESSIONS . . . PRELUDE TO GLORY. The qualities which characterize him are, in themselves, admirable, but no single characteristic seems enough. Dedication, devotion, humility, per- serverance, all of these words could be used to de- scribe him, but we do not feel that they would adequately explain our reason for thinking of him as we do. We believe that the quotation above from a sermon by Dr. McKinney does this best. Because we believe that all the positive aspects implied in this quotation best describe him, we, the staff of the PROMETHEAN l96l, dedicate our humble effort t5 the REVEREND HOWARD L.

.A .6 . Prelude To Glory,i I has been her function in these final stages of out gestation before we emerge to take our place in the world? We begin with the Promethean Ceremony through which we as Freshmen were indoctrineted into the Morgen Spirit. We recall the care we took to keep the flames of ear eendles alive: the selemnity in the voices of upperelessmen as they sang the Alma Meter, the spirit of helpfulness among us as we re- lighted the candle et a companion and the sting of burnt fingers as we protected our own candles from the wind. All of these memories remind us of our purpose and revive our determination for excellence. Through the years, we have been impressed time after time with the importance of our position as future eonttihutere on the world scene. From the stand up and be counted eommistion of the Presi- dent, to the pause for inner-retleetion offered by heligiou-in-Lite-Week, to the reh, reh, reh of the t -sports activities, to the fascinating power struggle of the Mock Democratic Convention, to the all too reel activities of our men in uniform on R. O.T. C. Day, t the Morgan program he: been so oriented to em- phasize her expectancies for our performance as functioning and informed citizens. We come, therefore, to this point in our lives where, armed with the tools of education, we prepare to go torth, end, like Prometheus, to carry forth the benefits of the tire of learning to the world. We stand on the threthold of e Prelude to Glory. Murphy Auditorium Fine Arts Building .. .xA. ...asV..,- .. ., M'..- ...-t..A,,L.,k ,,e.-r...t.
