Description
Black and white photo of the marble stairs in Russ Hall published in the 1922 Kanza. With the photo is a poem:
Education is a stairway; all may climb it if they will,
Step by step we travel upward gaining nought by stand-
ing still.
There are those who choose to linger and to waste the golden hours,
While they should be climbing upward seeking Honor's
fragrant flowers.
Skill counts little in the mounting, perserverance is the
thing
Keep on going though your troubles scarcely give you
cause to sing.
When at last your reach the summit and possess the thing
you prize,
Just be sure it does not dazzle does not blind those
anxious eyes.
