Excerpt from The Virginian, 1940, Vol. 39And in response we dedicated ourselves to the high task of making our lives on the campus richer and more full of love.As we lighted our candles their blazes illuminated the room in brave and shining symbol of our dedicatiori to a worthwhile pursuit in our college life.
