We rise to play a greater part! 

When your Emeritus Professor conclude with a powerful poem!

“This is the faith from which we start:

Men shall know commonwealth again

From bitter searching of the heart.

We loved the easy and the smart
But now, with keener hand and brain,

We rise to play a greater part.

The lesser loyalties depart,
And neither race nor creed remain

From bitter searching of the heart.
Not steering by the venal chart

That tricked the mass for private gain,

We rise to play a greater part.”
