Page eight ) iy 4 6 f @ . ‘at “e. i ; HMAVLCALLCH “We praise Thee, Lord, whose life we are”... With these memorable words unfolds that hymn which has become so sacred a part of our Wheaton tradition, and which expresses the very essence of our college experience. The words of A Wheaton Hymn, written by our distinguished presi- dent emeritus, J. Edgar Park, were set to music by Herbert J. Jenny, a former head of the Music Department. The first occasion at which the hymn was sung was the centennial of the college in 1934. Since then, hundreds of girls, standing amid the beauty of Cole Memorial Chapel, have sung to their college. Our founders’ inspiration, their laying of the first plans for the fulfill- ment of the spiritual, mental and physical needs of generations of young women, their desire that through this institution these lives would be- come enriched by the hundreds of opportunities offered, their hope for an adaptable college life maintaining the high standards to preserve their initial creation unfold before each student, reminding her of her duty. Each of us is a founder too, paving the way for future generations. When we leave after four years, we are enriched by what Wheaton has given us, but each of us has given of herself to the community; many have played outstanding roles. We hope that the phrases of this hymn found throughout Nike 1955 will symbolize many rich experiences for everyone who has shared in Wheaton’s heritage.
