THE NORTHERN a Sons of Ohio Northern 1 HIO Northern was founded by one whose integrity and sin- ! cerity has left wonderful influence upon the institution. It '02, still retains the widespread popularity and enviable reputation X 1. .' l which was his highest ambition to establish. It has been ,A ,I the means by which hundreds of men and women have been Q able to attain one of the most priceless of treasures, an educa- T vs' tion. These loyal sons and daughters have gone from this W I vff - rj, place of learning, carrying a spirit of love and reverence for xii VLQQW I their Alma Mater. ., . . gn- One of the greatest principles adopted by the founder was the spirit of Democracy. It has always been fostered by the faculty and student body as one of the sacred bulwarks of the institu- tion. This spirit has made possible the attainment and retention of Northern's worthy and noble ideals. Furthermore, it gives the opportunity for develop- ing the individuality of the student. This training is largely responsible for the fact that Northern has such a large number of men who have so willingly responded to the call of Democracy. They are not only responsive, they are capable, due in a large measure to the efficient military training received at North- ern. The military department has always been considered a valuable asset, but not until now have we been fully aware of its value. The one great aim of this department has been to train men for just such a crisis as we are facing today. The efficient military training has played an important part in the lives of North- ern's sons whose achievements have made them important figures in our nation and in the world. As a result, the men of Uhio Northern University have received creditable recognition in the present war. Since our country has taken up arms in the defense of Democracy, the spirit of devotion to the national cause has been especially marked among the students, Alumni, and instructors of Northern. Although some have gone as selects, many more have enlistedg and today Northern is represented in almost every branch of the service on the land and sea. Our men were especially successful at the officer's training camps, nearly all who took the training receiving commissions. YVC are particularly proud to hear from time to time of their successes and promotions. XVC feel that much of their success is due to the democratic and competent training received at Northern. Wie, their friends and classmates, keenly feel their absence in all of the college activities. In recognition of their services to humanity, of the laurels which they make for themselves, and the honor which they bestow upon their Alma Mater, we, with a sense of pride, claim them as our own. YVC feel that we can at least show a part of our appreciation of their services and loyalty by dedicating to them Tim IQIS NORTHERN. May they ever keep the upright principles for which they stand, squarely before them, and may they not forget that they are remembered hy their classmates as true and loyal sons of Northern. .
