MASON, '34 VoLUME XLVI NEW SERIES NuMBER 2 Memorial Field House, Elton Hall Dedicated Memorial Field House (above) was formally dedicated on Lincoln's birthday, February 12, at an impressive ceremony witnessed by more than 1500 alumni, friends, and students, . Earlier in the day, the new dormitory was dedicated to the memory of John Prince Elton, '88, former chairman of the Board of Trustees. At the right, President Funston is pictured receiving the key to Elton Hall from Louis W. Downes, '88, while Mr. Elton's daughters, Mrs. Roderic M. Cross and Mrs. Arthur E. Allen, Jr., and his grandson, John Elton Allen, look on. Principals in the field house dedication ceremony, shown at the right, were Ray Oosting, Director of Athletics, A. Northey Jones, Development Campaign Chairman who pre­ sented the building, the Rt. Rev. Walter H. Gray, Hon., '41, Brigadier General Archie J. Old of the Air Force, principal speaker, and President Funston. The academic, military, and religious ceremony was staged on the canvas-draped basketball floor at 3 p.m. The lower right photograph was taken as General Old praised the record of Trinity's 70 war heroes. A few minutes later color guards, representing the services in which Trinity men died, marched on the floor for a salute to the war dead (lower left). Seymour Page, Jr., and Charles Dabrowski, two veterans who are now top cadet officers in Trinity's Air ROTC unit, unveiled the bronze memorial plaque in a scene pictured on the cover. The climax came as Bishop Gray, in his dedication prayer, asked that the building "serve to preserve the memory of brave men made immortal by self-forgetfulness. Here may the sons of Trinity train their bodies to be servants and not masters; here discipline their wills in that teamwork which teaches men to play and work as one for the common good; and here strengthen their spirits to face victory and defeat alike and to be overcome by neither."
