Men <strong>of</strong> Gold<br />

Among the hundreds <strong>of</strong> blue stars on the great service flag <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>University</strong> gleams a galaxy <strong>of</strong> golden stars, the deathless emblems<br />

<strong>of</strong> those fearless youths who, when Justice was assailed, closed the<br />

book, shut tight the study door, and huirled where the rallying<br />

bugles sounded.<br />

To die as these die for whom the stars gleam gold,<br />

—that wrong might be forever beaten down and right restored<br />

this is to conseciate one's life to a cause the holiest among men; and<br />

in the years to come no son or daughter <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> will look<br />

upon the stars <strong>of</strong> gold without the thought that the names <strong>of</strong> those<br />

they commemorate are hallowed. With deepest reverence the <strong>University</strong><br />

dedicates these pages <strong>of</strong> her year book to<br />

her sons who gave<br />

to a high and holy cause "the last full measure <strong>of</strong> devotion."<br />
