Inscriptions on the Bells

Inscriptions on the first eleven bells:

In 1917 the class of 1863 gave us to sound the summons of this college.

For the young man, heir of the past, maker of the future, I ring.

For the teacher who enlarges the mind and strengthens the will, I ring.

For the preacher of the fear of the Lord, the beginning of wisdom, I ring.

For the scholar who preserves learning, I ring.

For the philosopher who ennobles life, I ring.

For the man of science who widens knowledge, I ring.

For him who in letters interprets life, I ring.

For him who in art beautifies life, I ring.

For the citizen, free and just, prepared to serve the state in peace or war, I ring.

For him, who in any station seeks not to be ministered unto, but to minister, I ring.
