aft I' -L, To All Who Shall See These Presents, Greetings When we open This book iT will be Time To close The Field Manuals and The Special Texfs. We have had The course. ' There will be some unavoidable Tumulf and shoufing aT The TransporTaTion Office as The Capfains and The Kings prepare To deparf, buT There should also be a momenf or Two for sober rehecfion. How are we going To grade This year's exercise? The names of The fTrsT Ten graduafes will appear in leTTers of fiame upon suifable memoranda and Trade publicafionsg perhaps even in The Daily Bullefin. The names of The Ten will remain forever unalferable. No amounT of pieTy, wiT, or skulduggery can change Them. However, as The years pass and The Class of i957 is scaffered ever wider, There will grow up a sizeable liTTle band of men who graduafed elevenfh in The class. Only one of These will be able wiTh any assurance To dispuTe The claims of his compeTiTors. IT is To be hoped ThaT he does noT Try very hard. On The oTher hand, no one will publish The name of ThaT Unknown Soldier who bears The resf of The class upon his bowed shoulders as he passes from Grubers' flexible walls. Proof of his place aT The lefT of The line is buried deep in his brief case, sandwiched beTween The dispairing noTes from his faculTy advisor. Perhaps, in years To come, There may even be a few who will dispuTe The righT To This secref place. So, we can see ThaT buT for The Ten, our class sfanding is noT a major considera- Tion in our evaluaTion of The exercise. WhaT Then are we cerfain ThaT we have Taken wiTh us from This College? Since iT is noT our purpose here To presenf The Approved SoluTion, buT only To expose The besT Thinking available, we can poinT out one giff of The College To each of us which will grow ever more prized as The years go by. This is The bond of fellowship and undersfanding gained by us all as we foughT The good fTghT in Gruber Hall. ln fuTure years and on baTTlefTeIds yeT unnamed, The Division Commander on our lefT may well be more Than iusf one of The Adiacenf Unifs. He may be ThaT man who saT on our le-ff in Gruber Hall, who smoked our cigareTTes, and whispered The answer To The hrsT quesTion on Monday morning. When Things look black, The Aggressor Threaf- ens, and The 2OlsT Armored Cavalry won'T come and help us, we can Turn To him. In some forTy countries Throughouf The world we shall be able To find This friend. IT is our sincere hope ThaT This book will help us To keep fresh The memory of Those friends whom we have meT and learned To know here aT The Command and General STafT College. 3
