THE VICE-PRESIDENTS MESSAGE The school year of 1031-32 has in some respects resembled the traditional April day. There have been clouds in the sky in the ab- sence of a number of old friends who would have been in attendance had it not been for financial difficulties, and many who have enrolled have had to practice economies that were neither pleasant nor desir- able. But there has been some fine sunny weather too. With the open- ing of the new dormitory, our students have had for the first time for many years the pleasure of ample dormitory accommodations. The new policy of the State Bureau of Agricultural Education in cen- tralizing its work in this institution has enriched our curriculum and our contacts. Our junior college enrollment has increased twenty-two percent over that of last year. Faculty members have shown breadth and understanding for people of “such advanced age,'' and the stu- dents have exhibited earnestness and judgment unusual “considering their youth.” It has been a year, we believe, of hard work and good feeling, and therefore a happy year. I hope that many of you may be with us next semester, and that those who are not returning may find employment that will require your best efforts and reward you with that feeling of satisfaction which comes from the completion of useful work well done. MARGARET H. CHASE.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Here we are, trying to think of something worthy of “El Rodeo.” Pur p“ with her wonderful dog affection and understanding wishes to express her sentiments in the following quotation: “My softest paw I give in faithful sign Of amity; my master's friends are mine. So we extend through this greeting our hearty good will and grateful appreciation to the many friends of The California Poly- technic. Each succeeding school year seems shorter and happier because of friends and friendships exemplified in students, faculty, state officials, parents, and all those who are truly interested in our school. May not only this office, but the entire institution, ever convey to all a spirit of understanding, hospitality, and genuine friendliness. Most cordially, “PREXY.”
