Zero Score and five years ago our athletic department brought forth on this University a new football coach, conceived in enthusiasm, and dedicated to the proposition that Husky football competes for championships.
Now we are engaged in a great Civil War testing whether that program, or any program, so dedicated and so conceived can long endure. We are met on a great website of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that program, as a final resting place for Don James, who worked his life so that that program might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here between 1974 and 2002, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored Husky legends we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that Don James shall not have died in vain -- that this program, under Jim Mora, shall have a new birth of glory -- and that program of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
