President Clarence R. Decker My MMO may . . The campus in early morning-night retreating . . . day emerging . . . the movement of leaves mingling with the sound of voices . . . young voices, laughing voices, serious voices- the University meeting another day. u Day has come many times to the campus. It came before there was a University - when the Administration Building was a private house, when the Drama Workshop was a carriage house, when the Kangaroost and the Bookstore were a greenhouse. It came when the Pond was a quarry, when the Library was a blueprint, when the Gymnasium was an excavation, when the Science Hall was a foundation. lt came as a great artist painted frescoes in the Liberal Arts Building. It came as great teachers taught in the classrooms. We have watched this University - this University. of Kansas City - grow. We have read books in its libraries, we have per- lormed experiments in its laboratories, we have pondered the problems of destiny in its classes and seminars. We have been moved by the beauty of its campus through the changing seasons, by the glory of its achievements through the years. We have wept a little at its failures and disappointments. We have watched students enter as youths-questioning, considering, wondering, gathering strength and conviction - and we have watched them leave as adults. DAY UNTO DAY UTTERETH SPEECH, AND NIGHT UNTO NIGHT SHEWETH KNOWLEDGE. I say look to your University! Cive it the power and glory of high noon, the wisdom of evening, the peace of night, the hope and faith of new mornings. l say give it the best of you, for the best, multiplied many times over, will return to youl - CLARENCE R.

,. .vww ' DEAN RINEHART,S RESPONSE IN PART As Guest of Honor At the Testimonial Banquet March 20, 1946 Mr. Chairman, Ladies, Gentlemen and Friends: We learn our virtues from the friends who love us -our faults from the enemies who hate us. Al- though it has been said, it takes a choice friend to tell us of our mistakes but shield them from others, I think we usually know our friends no matter what they tell us. We cannot expect to find a friend without faults although upon an occasion such as this, one might believe he had few faults and he had accomplished the impossible. I know I have plenty of faults and my accomplishments are largely due to my wife and my fortunate selection of a faculty. I am highly com- plimented and pleased, who wouldn't be-it's a human fradity. I wish to speak deeply this evening in behalf of those of our Alumni who have sacrificed their per- sonal interests for the security of our country. Without a murmur over six hundred of our Alumni went into the service. From every camp and from the battle lines we have heard repeatedly of the excellent service rendered by our graduates. Twenty thousand dentists responded to the call and we who stayed at home must not fail to show them our sincere appreciation and profound gratitude for the sacrifices they made and the service they rendered. We must not falter in our assistance to them in their problem to relocate and reestablish their practices. PAGE 10 The Bushwlfzacker 4 EELS?-B' AW -P -5-use
