Martin, who stands as a symbol of the progress to come for a great nation and for this University as a part of the nation. As his contribution to aeronautics has been an integral part in the winning of victory it will also aid in the maintaining of a peace complete with understanding and sympathy for all humanity. The vast interest and incalculable aid Mr. Martin has given to the University toward the furthering of aeronautical engineering and research will not stop here but will spread out in ever-expanding circles to encompass the nation and ulti- mately the earth. Through aircraft, nations will be bound more closely; through a knowledge of air- craft and its meanings our students will be ready to accept the challenge offered in a new world. Glenn L. Martin has made possible for us, the men and women of tomor- row, to carry forward the standards of progress after the flags of embittered nations have been dropped forever.
