Perhaps in no instance is the unselfishness of the citizen more marked than in his interest in the rising generation and in the generations to come. That Buffalo has done, and is doing, all in her power to give to the children of this city every advantage, is attested by the magnificent structures that have risen within the last few years. We, therefore, of South Park High, as partakers in this general spirit, rejoice in this crowning glory of architectural effort that encircles us, and as we read in it the happy fulfillment of yearning dreams, so also do we find in it a happy augury of the greater things to come to pass within its walls. South Park Dial, 1914
