Excerpt from Western Leander-Clark College: 1856 1911 The life story of a Christian College, begotten of the desire to bless mankind, nurtured in benevolence, and matured in sel¿ess service, should be, nay must be, en shrined in the heart of every son and daughter who has felt the benign touch of a foster mother so patient and so gentle. There is something peculiarly sacred and worthy of adoration in the life of such an institution, it is so far removed from worldly or vulgar aims and ideals, and yet so delightfully inwrought with warm human affections and genial. Human associations, it is the essence of a thousand personalities, of a thousand friendships, all refined and hallowed by the breath of angels. The spot, too, that shelters such a college must claim its due of grateful remembrance, just as the home that gave him birth and sheltered his infancy draws the heart of every true son with a love that only increases with the lengthening years. Life's larger scenes and stern de mands may lead his footsteps far away, a new home may enwrap his life with ever-widening tendrils of affection, and still the old spot retains its pre'eminence among his purest, tenderest memories.
