Great arc the heights wc long to climb. Deep arc the truths we needs must find, Grant us the strength to climb and eyes to see the light; Give to us Strength! Give to us Sight! Grant to us joy that comes, when life Tells us of love and sacrifice, Tries to defeat us and we laugh and rise again. Give to us Joy! Give to us Pain! May we not lose the vision clear Of fairer, nobler worlds by far Than this, and of a race of men who will be free,— Our vision for humanity! To thee, O Conning Tow’r, wc raise This, our last song of love and praise, Thy spirit guide us as we go upon our Quest; For life that’s full! For life that’s best! [7|

Gertrude I. Shaw Secretary to the President For your untiring efforts in the interests of each one of us, we dedicate to you our Classbook. “Serenity is her most noticeable characteristic, for, no matter what has happened, or how tired she is, she is always courteous and kindly, and acts as if the things she most wants to do is to attend to others’ needs. She responds to friendliness with a winsome smile, but remains business-like and casual in her official duties. “Twenty-five classes have known her and found her the same kindly, understanding personality and dignified officer.” Ernest L. Silver

Ernest Leroy Silver The President's Message The Class of 1937 leaves college with reasonable hope of finding work to do. Let that work be well conceived. Your country calls for your intelligent thought and action in affairs political. Your college years have been times of political ferment; years when economic principles of long acceptance have been challenged and social philosophies once held fanciful and unworkable are seriously championed by strong leaders. Individual liberty and democratic government have been lost to some nations; new tyrannies for old ones have come to other peoples. Ten million young voters who have reached majority in recent years will soon shape the destinies of America. The educated voter must be a force unfailing.
