JUNE 1935 V X OU have so kindly and so often allowed me to have the last word that I believe you will permit me to continue to have it even now. Lest you be tempted to cease reading at this point, let me hasten t T add that I shall not offer one bit of advice. I really want to tell you certain things that I hope you will want to know. Most students at Tech do not realize how genuinely intere sted the faculty is in all that pertains to their welfare, their doings, and the boys themselves. We teachers believe in Tech, its course, its standards, its aims. We believe in our Principal, in our fellow teachers, and most of all in our boys, for it is what the alumni do and are that justifies Tech ' s very existence. You will understand, then, how we enjoy the visits and letters of our alumni. Don ' t hesitate to tell us about yourselves. Don ' t even be modest about it, for we would gladly rejoice with you in your good fortune. We like to know about your accomplishments not only for your own sakes but also because it makes those of us who are still in Tech more conscious of its possibilities and responsibilities. Come to see us even if you feel that you have no great deeds to relate. After all, what you are is what really counts. The deeds will take care of themselves when the opportunity arises. Come back to Tech even if the years roll by before you can do so. I have been speaking for the faculty as a whole, but of course you will know I am speaking for myself most of all. If you wish to be especially kind and considerate, come to 1W11 and introduce yourselves before I have a chance to recall your names. Don ' t forget to sign the Alumni Visitors Book. I trust you know that I shall be glad to be of service when¬ ever I can. Don ' t let any lack of personal acquaintance stand in the way. Strangely enough, we sometimes get better acquainted with students after they have left us. It seems that this farewell has turned out to be a welcome for the future, and it is better so. I hope you will enjoy your work as much as I have enjoyed working wi th you, and that when you have gone as far along life ' s road as I have, you will feel equally convinced that life, whether easy or difficult, is very much worth while and a never-ceas¬ ing adventure. Sincerely yours, SIGRID C. FREEBERG. Page 31
