GREETINGS Due to the necessities of editorial and printing dead- lines, this greeting is prepared when the campus is white with the winter's snow. However, enough of the year has passed to indicate that it should be another significant year in the history of the College. It has been my privilege to be associated with the College as a student, instructor, or administrator for more than 50 years. It is hard to measure one year as contrasted with another. I am confident, how- ever, that the spirit which prevailed during the fall session, which we can now see in retrospect, compares favorably with that of the better years of the past. The year will, also, record substantial progress in other directions for the College. A generous gift by a trustee of the College, enabled the College to undertake the construc- tion of the east transept of Harbison Chapel. This makes it possible to provide seating for the entire present college community at chapel services, and adds to the impressive- ness of an already beautiful building. Then, the magnifi- cent gift of the Ford Foundation has given encouragement and added strength to the College. Many other friends have contributed substantially to make the College a stronger and a better institution. All of these gifts add to our responsibilities as students and staff to make wise use of the opportunities and facilities which are ours. While we have missed the presence and service of former members of the Faculty, we have welcomed to the campus this year a number of new members, all of whom have made important contributions to the educational and social life of the College. 5 zxvx Q The true success of a college is measured in the intel- lectual, spiritual and social development of its students. As the College completes 80 years of continuous service, I congratulate all who have had a part in making this, the eightieth year, a year of growth, of service, and of achieve- ment. Sincerely yours, WEIR C. KETLER H This year is the last year for Dr. Ketler to serve our College as President. He has held the distinction of being the youngest man to be president of a college in the United States, and he now is the Dean of College Presi- dents, having served 40 long and successful years as President of Grove City College. We, the students of this College, thank Dr. Ketler for his help and his leadership. May he always be as close to the College and its students as he is now.

The age-old cry That evermore adown the years hath rung Our Alma Mater lately heard. N o tongue Here grief dare utter, none her joy deny When gleam of gladness lit her unsunned sky, And royal mantle upon him was flung, Her crown-ripe prince who, from the Founder sprung, Most worthily the throne would glorify. O loved young Ruler, Through the years to be May rich achievement on thy reign await! Thine Alma Mater's sons and daughters, we Thy Coronation hail and celebrate. Our love and loyalty to her, this book to thee In faith and fealty We dedicate. -M. B. fwritten by request as the Dedication of the 1916 OUIJA. l l l S I 1 L tb 3 l ,y l Twenty-f01H' 4
