Dedication It is with the deepest admiration for the man and his ideals that we dedicate the 1964 TEMPLAR to the memory of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States. His commitment to freedom was not only of the mind, but of the heart. The Gift Outright The land was ours before we were the land's. She was our land more than a hundred years Before we were her people. She was ours In Massachusetts, in Virginia, But we were England's, still colonials. Possessing what we still were unpossessed by. Possessed by what we now no more possessed. Something we were withholding mode us weak Until we found out that it was ourselves We were withholding from our land of living, And forthwith found solvation in surrender. Such as we were we gave ourselves outright (The deed of gift was many deeds of war) To the land vaguely realizing westward. But still unstoried, artless, unenhanced. Such as she was, such as she would become. From For John F Kennedy Hi» lnoug'0'K n from IN THE ClEARING by Robert Froit Copyright 1942, ic 962 by Robert Fro»t Reprinted by permmion of Holt.
