T HEY don ' t issue battle ribbons to educational institutions . . . No good conduct, no meritorious service, no Pacific or Medi- terranean or European theatre decorations have been awarded San Jose State College. Nevertheless the old school is a battle-scarred veteran of dis- tinguished service on a score of educational fronts . . . Born in 1862 during the war between the states, fortress in a defense of educational standards during two world wars, the College has fought for more than 80 years in the forefront of assaults on out- moded practices and outworn traditions . . . Advance scout for many a campaign into new fields of service, it has steadfastly opposed and overcome barriers to its progress ... Its decorations and honors are the thousands of fine young men and women who have gone forth from its campus into suc- cessful and happy lives . . . San Jose State College now opens a new chapter in history — a period of rapid expansion, new buildings, new serv- ices, new horizons. To the College, then, at the end of an era, is this La Torre dedicated with pride and affection ... To our Alma Mater we say, Well Done. 15» Wr
