Dedication Toiling — rejoicing — sorrowing — Onward through life he goes; Each morning sees some task begin, Each evening sees its close; Something attempted — something done, Has earned a night ' s repose. Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend, For the lesson thou hast taught — Thus at the flaming forge of life Our fortunes must be wrought; Thus on its sounding anvil shaped Each burning deed and thought! Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Perhaps these are lines which characterize best the life of a man who has worked with his hands as well as with his mind, who has devoted himself to each day ' s tasks with courage and with ability who has seen things improved and accomplished as a result of his directing and guiding hand. In appreciation for his forty-six years of unselfish service to Union University — its administration, its faculty, and its students; In appreciation for the lesson of persistence and devotion to worthwhile endeavour that we can learn from his life; And in appreciation for a man who has done his best in his work although the spotlight of praise and attention has rarely been focused on him. We, the staff of LEST WE FORGET, dedicate this 1965 publication to AAr. Jim Stratton Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds 20
