The bylaws of The Omaha Home for Boys proclaim it to be perpetual . . . never-ending . . . "until time shall be no more".

That is because Great Causes ought never to end, and that even as one challenge is met, others lie ahead.

Leaders of the Home have decided to meet those other challenges . . . to reach out in new programs, cooperating with other organizations, to help even more people.

The residential program for boys will continue - and at the 52nd and Ames location.

The 1941 decision makers who obtained the farmland which was to become known as Inspiration Hill had selected the Home's final location, to be sure.

"To leave this community we would be a part of its problems, not a part of its solutions!" Dr. Bernard Gyger proclaimed at a Long Range Planning meeting.

A master plan for campus expansion in a very short time has been drawn up.

But the Home is more than bricks and mortar . . . it is PEOPLE. People helping people.

People are not easy to catalog, as buildings are, for each comes, and then leaves, in his time.

It is the Great Cause which remains. People serve the Cause and it will ever be thus . . .

"until time shall be no more".
