Year after year THE STONE FORT comes to you as a reminder of the more pleasant episodes in your college life. It will grow in value to you as the days go by. You enter life at a vital point in human history. The world is confused in its thinking and in its policies. The eternal values that have been prized by Americans are being attacked. The essenticl liberties are threatened with destruction. It will require the same courage and devotion to duty to preserve these liberties as it did in the early morning of our history to establish them. You as citizens of a great nation will have to preserve them. You will have to try not only to protect this nation from foreign enemies, but to make it so effective in promoting the welfare of all our citizens that it may continue to lead in enlightened and progressive policies. It will all require intelligence, good citizen- ship, and courage. I am hoping that each of you will respond to the challenges of the moment as befit the sons and daughters of a worthy ancestry. THE STONE FORT will remind you of friendships and comradeships. I wish for you a continuation of these friendships and comradeships and for the opportunity of playing a big part in this trying hour. A. W. BIRDWELL, President
