-Alma Staler iDocs 3?ot jForget ill , history of the world conflict written in the blood of millions of true patriots is not so ancient hut many of us can clearly recall the many ’-ir-V sorrows which heaped themselves on the weakened shoulders of the mothers of our land. Mow many homes curtained a front window with that never-to-be-forgotten service flag, the red background, white field, and blue star! How many of these blue stars, as time wore on. were replaced by golden ones! How many a little gray haired mother did we see on the streets, garbed in a somber black, a service band on her arm. mourning often, the loss of her only son. Downcast and heart-broken she was. yes. but proud of her son. Another mother 'way out in Kansas, mother to many of those boys who poured out their life blood on the hills of France, had chosen to honor her sons. True there was the service flag dotted with the marine blue of the serving, and the gold of those who now served not in the list of the living. Yet this mother also, through the generosity of her Alumni, erected to the honor of her sons who served in the W ar. a memorial of love, an arch dedicated to her Alumni who had rushed eagerly forward on the first call for volunteers. Today the visitor at St. Mary's as he enters those sacred portals, stops to admire the classic beauty and rugged grandeur of the memorial arch. I le is struck with its impressiveness, and whilst he stands gazing upon it. wrapt in his own reflections, he finds himself reading the inscription. To the Sons of St. Mary’s College Who Served Their Country in the World War the Alumni have erected this Memorial. In this and in many other ways, with true mother love St. Mary’s has ever pursued her sons to honor those whom she delights to honor. She has chosen to show them that though many years have glided into the past since they left her. she still remembers them and watches and prays for them and theirs. Their success is her success, and in their difficulties they can always know that their Alma Mater remains a true mother to them. Kach November Alma Mater thoughtfully gathers together her students and faculty in the Immaculata. the hallowed chapel dedicated to the Mother of God, and there with the august sacrifice and the sacred ceremony of the Solemn High Mass of Requiem, she intercedes at the throne of the Most High that those of her students and professors who have gone before may rest in peace with God. Again, with what sentiments of tender gratitude does she not look upon those stanch friends and stalwart sons of hers who under the leadership of Mr. Thomas Walsh, then president of the Alumni Association, assembled the funds required to erect the beautiful structure known as Rodman Hall, whither St. Mary’s students will come for years to learn wisdom? Alma Mater does not forget them as she does not forget those Socialists and devoted clients of Mary who erected the Immaculata as an enduring memorial of their love for the Blessed Mother of God. Their memory and the memory of all her children and friends will ever beheld in benediction. One Hundred Sixty-nine
