 Cl Dedication i TO THE SPIRIT OF T. M. I. The T. M. I. Spirit: A burning spirit—a glorious flame, mounting higher and higher towards the heavens. It is the spirit which makes armies, wins battles, decides wars, builds nations and erects civilizations. It is a spirit that was old long before school spirit was new. It lit the world through the long centuries. It has burned wherever men have needed light and inspiration: with the Greeks at Salamis, the South in the darkest of her days, with the French at the Marne. We Texans understand it in the Spirit of the Alamo. It is a Spirit based on faith and an ideal. But it means more: Sturdy independence, honesty of character, self- reliance—traits native to Texas, and withal, the gentle courtesy, refinement and loyalty that have always lived in our Southland. Greatest of all. Men of T. M. I., you are a part of this Spirit. It burns as a beacon light to your endeavor and inspiration; and because it is burning you are to be more than a student—you are to be a man! You are to be more than a competitor—you are to be a victor! This is the heritage that we claim—this is our dedication of the Blue Bonnet—this is the Spirit of T. M. I. And we charge you all, old men and new men, love and follow it, cherish it—and keep it burning! Page Four
