comir..g. By this time new students have become well adjusted
to the work and the life of Ihe school and have hecome well iden­tified
with Ihe traditions and ideals of the school. Old students
find a real challenge in making Homecoming Day equal if not
surpass that of former years.
The Alumni are glad to return to the school on this day to
show their interest, loyalty, and devotion to the school. The
Alumni will be anxious to greet students whom they knew when
they were students. H01:necoming provides an opportunity for
Alumni to renew acquaintance and friendship with students who
were contemporary with themselve5' The new feature of the
Homecoming is an opportunity that we are giving Alumni to
call on members of the faculty who will be in their offic.. on
Saturday morning from 9 10 '2 o'clock- Some of Ihe Alumni
will want to discuss problems in teaching with members of the
faculty and some will simply want to m~ke social calls on their
former instructors. This new feature of 9ur program has met
with hearty approval from Alumni.
Above all. I am anxious that as an institution. Homecoming
will lead us to a finer appreciation of the· ideals and purposes of
our school and the possibilities of service that lie ahead of us in
the near future. From past experience J am sure that the inspira~
tion that will come from Ihis day will' be real and lasting to all
who participate in the activities of the day. To those who are
working hard on the program that makes this day possible in the
life of the school we gladly acknowledge our sincere appreciation.
