Foculfy e Minerva- goddess of Wisdom, to Whom the Romans paid tribute, inspired in them the desire for learning so that they might be able to go forth in the World giving others of their understanding and wisdom. She represented the finest ideals - learning, Wisdom, justice, and righteous warfare. The arts of peace especially were her particular care. Through her, men Were trained in handicrafts, agriculture Was made to flourish, and arts and letters were encouraged. So has our faculty done for us. As we leave these halls we look to these, our inspirers, appreciating how they have worried and struggled with us so that We might be successful when We follow our chosen paths in life. As We stop and think a moment, many pleasant mem- ories return to us of helpful things they have done.
