Dedicate Anew
"Only in America, have the ideals
of true liberty been successfully tried,
only here have we had self govern

Europe to change and destroy our ac-
compliments.
Il ask you here and now as the doors
of this institution are about to close
behind you, to dedicate yourself anew,
your lives, your property and your
sacred honor to the support of the
fundamental principles set forth in
our constitution and laws, that this
government of the people, by the peo-
