Litany of Commemoration Almighty and Everlasting God, Source of all Wisdom and Strength: For our faith in the dignity of every human soul, and the infinite worth of all mankind — We give thanks to Thee, God. For the preservation of our state and nation, founded upon this faith in freedom and brotherhood — We do humbly thank Thee. For men and women who throughout our history have possessed the courage to pro- claim and defend these principles, that the promise inherent in them might live — We thank Thee, the author of our faith. And today, for one who translated sacrifice and toil into the founding of this in- stitution, solemnly dedicated to the fulfillment of that promise — We thank Thee, as we honor his memory. For the unidentified many who caught from him that vision, and by their silent but powerful belief in his dream made it the Common Will — We give thanks to Thee. O Lord. For those within these walls, who have devoted their lives to the end that true scholarship and enriched living might be within the reach of young people everywhere — We give thanks to Thee, God. For thousands of students who have enjoyed this heritage, and have given forth manifold that which they have received — We do thank Thee, Lord. And ever mindful of the deep obligation to preserve and extend human happiness through knowledge and service, we pray that Thy hand be upon us in the challenge of this hour, as it was upon those who dared to build a college in days of great privation. Amen. May those who enter here recognize in Thy goodness and Thy wisdom the strength which may be theirs as they join, in spiritual communion and fellowship, those who have gone before; may they rejoice in that tradition of sound scholarship and responsible freedom, bequeathed to them in good faith by those our honored dead; may they count this heritage a challenge to higher and nobler service. That none among us may falter. That none among us may forget. We pray Thee, God. For such is our reasonable service. For all the saints, who from their labours rest. Who Thee by faith before the world confess ' d. Thy name.O Jesus, be forever bless ' d. Alleluia! Alleluia! Founder ' s Day -
