WHY SHOULD OREGON BE THE GOAT?

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1921-09-24

What is courage, but the sum
OF all that men have learned,
The songs of voices long -since dumb,
The call of freedoms stirring drum
The shackles men have spurned.
What is courage, but the grace
To meet life's trials we'll,
To bring the splendor of your race
To duties grim or commonplace
Until the final bell.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1921-09-24
COUR AGE

What is courage but the will
To do the noblest thing,
To meet what comes of good or i'll
And play the man and soldier still
Thought hurt and failure sting.
What Is courage, but belief
That good shall crown the strife,
That disappointment's hours are brief
And out Of bitterness and grief
Men come TO larger life.
