LET FREEDOM RlNG I wrote this about twenty years ago. Since the theme of the Year Book is Let Freedom Ringh, it seems to me appropriate to use it in this connection. I love my country. I love its wooded hills and its fertile valleys. I glory in its past achievements and in its present greatness. I honor and respect the memory of the pioneers, who in the face of danger and privation, with heroic fortitude blazed the way for American civilization. I honor our great statesmen and scientists and inventors and captains of in- dustry and reformers and educators and I desire to emulate in my life that spirit of patriotism and service and devotion to duty which has contributed so much to national greatness. I love the Stars and Stripes, the emblem of my country. I believe that the Flag has always stood for justice and liberty and human freedom. I cherish our great institutions, our wise laws, our interest in maintaining hospitals and homes and asylums for ministering to human need and destitution and I regard the privileges and the blessings and opportuni- ties which all these have given to me as a precious heritage. In recognition of all that I enjoy, I aim to be patriotic, to respect law, to uphold American ideals. I realize, that. in view of what the nation gives to me, I have an obligation to it and to its citizens and I am willing to assume my share of responsibility, to participate in all affairs for the common good, to place service above self, and to seek by my life and influence to do my share to hand down to my children an even greater, a better heritage than that which I now enjoy.
