OUR STUDIES CAME FIRS!

Page 17 text:

A Swiss father on his death bed, so the story runs, handed his twelve sons a bundle of twelve twigs with the request that the sons break the bundle. Each son tried,- but no one succeeded. Then the father untied the twigs and they broke them one by one. What a commentary on life! Unity gives strength; division invites disaster. ' United we stand; divided we fall. ' The truth of this parable is felt strongly today. Only by concerted effort can America survive the onslaughts of her cruel enemies. A divided people invite confusion and court disaster. America must go all out for Victory. We salute our brave alumni soldiers and sailors, and pray for their welfare. May theirs be a God-pleasing victory! Wartburg stands at the dawn of a new day. Great opportunities for service loom up before her. The call for consecrated pastors and laymen, parish and social workers, teachers, missionaries, and profes- sional men and women challenge her to rededicate her strength and devotion to Christ and His Church. A united alumni, a united faculty, a united student body pressing toward one goal spell victory. A College undergirded by the prayers of consecrated men and women and encouraged by the trust and support of a benevolent Church, is a power for untold good, a source of true strength and wisdom. May Wartburg accomplish her mission — all united for victory! — 13 —
