Dr. Smyth Some few months before his death, it was my privilege to have an interview with the great American industrialist, Eugene G. Grace of the class of 1894. After making a name at Pennington, he attended Lehigh University and spent most of his active business life with The Bethlehem Steel Company serving as president and chairman of the board. During our chat Mr. Grace recalled with vivid clearness his school chums, his teachers, and his school days at Pennington. He was grateful for all that life on the campus meant to him. For most of the youth who have gone out from Pennington's halls, these acres seem to have been holy ground. Life must move through many experiences with the passing years, but few equal and none surpass the precious hours on Heritage Field, Shaw Memorial Chapel, the class rooms and the ancient dormitory halls. To all who go forth now, we extend our highest hopes for a rich and full life. And like Eugene Grace of the class of '94, may the successes of life serve to prove the value of your Pennington days.
