DEDICATION Dr. Asa S. Knowles A man always leaves the print of his personality on his divelling place. Dr. Carl S. Ell, President, Northeastern University, 1940-1959. .T was a sturdy breed of flint and steel That struck the spark, which, then assuming breadth And motion generated into flames. Became enveloped in a holocaust Of knowledge, till their beacon-lights prevailed And lit the darkened paths along his way. The Yankee wisdom that imbued his mind Was not so high and haughty as to shun The wan realities of life, nor was The sphere of ideality beyond His grasp, but interweaving both, he sought The middle ground, undaunted in the truth That no sheer, man-made absolute can know The all-embracing substance of its name. Northeastern now is witness to the scene Of youth and progress, sculptured into one Within a mold of education; here The destined stage is set, but greater still, Far greater than the stage itself, the scene, In witnessing the drama of the man, Perpetuates his wisdom and his flames. — Harold Bond president ' s message To ejch Mt.mDcr of the - Liib •)!
