Recessional ' Cod of our fathers, Ifnorvn of old — Lord of our far-flung baitle-line Beneath whose awful hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine — Lord Cod of hosts, be with us vet, Lest we forget — lest we forget! The tumult and the shooting dies — The captains and the lyings depart — 5(7 stands Thine ancient Sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart. Lord Cod of hosts, be with us vet, Lest we forget — lest we forget! Far-called our navies melt away — On dune and head and sinks the fire — Lo all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! Judge of the nations, spare us yet, Lest we forget — lest we forget! If, drunk E ihe sight of power, we lose Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe — Such boasting as the Gentiles use Or lesser breeds without the Law — Lord Cod of hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget — lest we forget! For heathen heart that puts her trust In reeling tube and iron shod All valiant dust that builds on dust, And guarding calls not thee to guard — For frantic boast and foolish word, Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord! — Rudyard Kipling.

Foreiror j. II E present herewith the ninth volume of Lest We Lis Forget. In this issue we have striven to reach a standard of excellence hitherto unattained, and one which may prove as a stepping stone to yet higher ideals. If our undertaking has met with any measure of success, it is due to the untiring zeal and painstaking efforts of those members of the staff who so conscientiously and well have executed the tasks entrusted to their care. To them we express our thanks for the kindly manner in which they have aided our work, the interest manifested therein, and the many timely suggestions offered in the maze of difficulties which have constantly confronted us. Our task, though arduous, has been a pleasant one ; though trying, a welcome one. Into the hands of its readers we commend this volume, with no fear lest they judge of its faults too harshly; and yet with the hope that they may find herein some touch of merit, some little mark of worth, which alone can be the reward for our labor of love, which we trust may not have been wrought in vain.. The staff is grateful to the Senior Class for the cover design and running heads; Dr. Watters for many timely suggestions; and the Long-Johnson Printing Company for a multitude of favors and suggestions, without which the 1920 Lest We Forget would never have been what it is.
