Philadelphia in History V7 ITHIN Philadelphia, the city that saw the independence of a nation created, the city which truly is the soul-capital of America, Temple University was founded. The growth of the University ever since its humble beginning in 1884 has been amazing, almost unbelievable. In many ways its expansion can be likened to the historic development of Philadelphia itself. Venerable as is its history, Philadelphia has not been content to rest on past greatness and achievement, but has constantly been moving forward in a spirit of progress, a spirit essential in the present age of modernism. Temple, too, though comparatively young, has its tradition, tradition to be recognized and preserved. Neverthless, Philadelphia, indeed the nation, has found in Temple one of its greatest instruments of progress. It shall be the duty of the graduates, Knights Templars of 1948, to accept the challenge of the progressive age. The Templars, while still preserving the ideals of the University and its founder, along with the ideals of a historic environment, must further a tradition of service. This service, this sense of duty, already established by both Philadelphia and Temple University, must be strengthened by them. CARPENTER HAU, |
