Lhe Editors of the 1948 Bomb feel that they are privileged to record herein the close of one successful regime and what promises to be an even more successful era in the glorious historj of the Virginia Military Institute. So it is w ith pride in our hearts that we, the Editors, dedicate this 1948 Bomb to Lieutenant General Kilbourne and Major General Marshall — two men of character whose record of devotion to duty can hardly be equalled. To General Kilbourne, for his unceasing efforts to maintain the high standards of the In- stitute, particularly during the past war. To General Marshall, for under his guiding hand, we expect the Institute to rise to a newer and greater peak of achievement.

TO THE FUTURE THE V. M. I. FOUNDATION, Inc. The Virg ' nia Military Institute now stands on the threshold of a new era. Along with an expanding and steadily improving physical plant, for the first time in its history a permanent organization, the V. M. I. Foundation, Inc., independent of V. M. I. but directed by V. M. I. men representing its alumni, its Board of Visitors and its faculty, is actively engaged in the essential task of raising for the Institute a real and adequate endowment. By building such an endowment for V. M.

OUR VISION IS TOWARD THE FUTURE— TOWARD A BETTER]V. M. I.
