Description

the realization of a dream
"For a thousand years, day and
night, the Chapel of Christ, the King,
will sing praises to God. It will live
intimately with you. I like to think of
its tabernacle enshrining the youthful
Christ, the Christ of the Campus. To
young men through the ages it will
impart virtue and strength and love
and goodness that will beget leaders
in character, leaders in faith and truth.
I hope it will see only good days—days
good to God, free and unoppressed."
—David D. Klise, 15.
