Excerpt from Ohio University Bulletin, Vol. 17: May, 1922 Besides the holy desire to honor Ohio's hero dead, and the urgent need on the campus of the auditorium that will be their monument; besides our duty to provide the money that will build it, and the debt we owe Alma Mater for her gifts to us; besides these there is still another powerful motive that is going to stir every one of us to give to the very limit of his capacity and to work untiringly that the campaign may succeed: Alma Mater is being tested, openly, before the world. If she is worthy of her long history and the brilliant future that is already opening up under the new regime, if she has been able to inspire loyalty and devotion in her sons and daughters, if she deserves that the citizens of Ohio continue to support her largely and to send their children to her, she must prove it now. And there is only one way, a way she cannot accomplish alone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
