THE 193C X-CAY A MESSAGE FROM To the Student Body: At the end of our ninety-seventh session, 1934-35, 6,340 men and women had been graduated here. When a graduate goes into practice the question with the public is, from what professional school has he come; little interest is expressed in his earliet education. There is a real sense in which the influence of a high-grade pro- fessional school follows its graduates helpfully. It is enlightened self-in- terest, if nothing else, for alumni to strongly support and advance their Alma Mater. Our Centennial is approaching. Before that time, the new buildings now scheduled will be completed. There remain to be undertaken a new hospital for white patients, a new dental school building, gymnasium, dor- mitory, and some other facilities. While the physical plant is important it is not an end in itself. The real soul of any institution is its folks — students, faculty, alumni, friends. Fortunately, this basic factor is not conditioned by finances to the same extent as the physical plan:. The richest institution is not necessarily the greatest institution. To build a greater Medical College of Virginia does require funds, and in this all of us can help, but it requires still more — the loyalty, devotion, and even the consecration of numerous zealous groups. It is significant that our institution after a centurv is stronger and more influential than ever before, that it has survived many institutions and enter- prizes which might have attained the same age and prestige. It may be well to contemplate what our institution has been and is to be, and how each one of us individually is related to its future. W. T. Sanger, President.
