i\luta flatrr W'o tl7t ~Jorilnn 1ijtgl7 ~rquul we give our heartfelt thanks, our sincerest gratitude. She has opened for us a treasure house of knowledge, of beautiful associatinns, which will linger with us ever; and of inspirations and ideals which will make us bigger and better men and women. She has been to us as the mother who leads us on and on, helping, inspiring, guiding us through periods of helplessness, rashness, or trouble, who chastises or checks our impulsiveness, who patiently and lovingly bears with us in all things. She has truly laid the first stones in the solid foundation of to-morrow. She has prepared us so that when we onter a more indeP'endent season of life we may realize its importance, that we may be more useful in bearing the burdens of the world. In all that we have undertaken Jordan has helped us, and made us feel that we belonged to her. That we belonged to her shall always be a source of pleasure, and although we may be far away we will ever feel to honor and respect her, our Alma Mater. P.R., '12.
