FOREWORD Throughout the centuries of history, man's vigil and his quest have been to be free. For this the best and bravest of earth have fought and died. To em- body human liberty in workable government, Amer- ica was born. Shall we keep that faith? Man must be free to use his own powers in his own way. Free to think, to speak, to worship. Free to plan his own life. Free to use his own initiative. Free to dare in his own adventure. HERBERT HOOVER in The Road to Freedom

DEDICATION We, the class of 1 948, dedicate our Year- book, Quovadis, to freedom. In so dedicating our annual, we are restating the ideal of all Americans from the first loyal patriots in the history of our land to the citizens of today. Freedom, I iberty, independence—these three words with their common meaning can- not help but arouse in men's hearts a feeling of love, pride, patriotism, and are to us, Amer- icans, synonymous with our United States. The history of America is replete with deeds of personal valor and heroic episodes in the lives of courageous pioneers and great leaders who gave generously that all men might be free. The foundations of our democ- racy are rooted deeply in the blood and sweat of our forefathers as they searched and fought for liberty. Who of us does not thrill with pride when we study Washington or Jefferson or Lincoln, all outstanding names in American history? We are inspired by the noble words and deeds of those great Americans who have gone before us—inspired to do things better and to fashion our lives accordingly, profiting by the lofty principles of all great men. And now as we, the graduates, fortified with careful training and preparation, go forth into our chosen fields, we are resolved to dedicate our thoughts and efforts to the preservation of freedom for all men.
