Excerpt from The Sub Turri, 1945 Alma Mater salutes both you who are about to leave us and your former classmates who may be found in every part of the world, be it stifling jungle or frozen steppe. She is proud of you and of those who have gone before you. Some have already proved their worth in a very realistic way and, have reduced to practice the principles they learned beneath these towers. You too who tarry but a little longer in the shadow of the familiar Gothic will soon be called to bear witness to the value of your training. In the testing, be it in the civilian or mili tary sphere, you will prove no less worthy of your Alma Mater. There are difficult days ahead but you are ready. May God bless you and keep you!
