E119 Alumni T is. a gratification to the authorities of any college when the former graduates I mnanifestla spirit toward Alma Mater that betokeuns real appreciation. Colleges llke Heidelberg with half a century or more behind them must necessarrly have 1 a constltuency widely scattered, Wherever a loyal graduate may be, moreover, there is a portion of the real Heidelberg. And these sons and daughters may make a very potent force in furthering the work here at home. Heidelberg's graduates have shown a hearty desire to be true to Alma Mater all through the years. Very soon after the institution was thoroughly established the Alumni Association was organized. Many of those founders still survive and evince the same steadfast loyalty as in the earlier years. But a great host of others have come on during the years until now nearly 650 living graduates of Heidelberg are out doing nobly in the world. For the most part, in their own way, these graduates have been helpers during the years. Today, however, we believe that the spirit of cordial devotion is stronger than ever in l'leidelberg's recent history and the attitude taken by the loyal friends is bound to be an important factor in the achievements of the future. During the past two years, the furtherance of the equipment of the University Library has been the chief object of the Alumni. One thousand dollars have been con- tributed or secured by them in the satisfaction of conditional pledges for a like sum made by Philip Williard of Trappe, Pennsylvania, and Oliver Keller of Sulphur Springs, Ohio. Thus two thousand dollars' worth of books have been placed on the shelves- books that are serviceable and usable. What a fine thing this has been! And no one felt the burden, for the gifts were generally small. Many littles count. And what has been begun should certainly con- tinue for some years until this library becomes a real pride as well as a real force in the life of the school. Everyone that takes any part in furnishing such equipment is estab- lishing something that will speak in the far distant years. It is a permanent investment of money and of influence. 21
