Service . . . Dedicated to Dr. Martin Wiederaenders The years past number thirty-five since he first came to us, Bringing a new hope, a new dream. For all the tomorrows. He fondled this hope, brought it to reality. Helped it . . . made it grow and flourish Until now it is recognized. Rightfully appreciated by men. Yes, he who guides us to the guidance of youth. Resting upon us the hope for tomorrow ; He who brightens each day With a lightness deft and young — He has served us long and faithfully. We can but poorly thank him. — B.D

Foreword This is the story of the 1953-54 school year at Wartburg College. It is merely an outline, to be sure, but we hope that what is found within the covers of this book will introduce you who are not directly associated with Wartburg to life here. We especially hope for you who were members of the Wart- burg family this past year, that the pages of this FORTRESS, every time you leaf through them, will set off an endless chain of priceless reminiscences of your stay here; this is your book of memories. On the cover you saw a replica of the college Coat of Arms, which we have also used on the end sheets and division pages to tie together the phases of life at the Home of the Knights. A prominent part of this Coat of Arms is the Cross and the American flag. The Cross symbolizes the very core of Wartburg ' s educational aims — that of helping students grow in the Christ-cen- tered life. Together, the flag and Cross depict the next great aim — to provide our Church and our country with Christian leaders in every area of human existence. This is Wartburg College.
