Greetings- From the V O the Tennessee College girls of today we, the Ten- nessee College girls. of yesterday, send greeting. That sounds as if it came from an old woman, doesn't it? Though my hairs have not turned gray as yet, I have been out of college long enough to appreciate the days I spent there more than ever, 'and to regret that I did not spend more time there. I will some day be sending my son out to seek an education, and I am sorry I cannot send him back to old T. C. But perhaps if he is a noble youth he will be allowed to make a visit now and then Con Saturday nightsj just to see where his mother once labored. There are few joys that equal that of returning to the place where we spent so many pleasant and profitable hours. That pleasure has lately been mine, and I hope to return more often in the future. There are no friends who welcome us as do those at Tennessee College. They have known us better than any others, and they believe in us as do no others. As the years come and go our love for the college and those associated with her grows greater, and the memories of her grow deeper and sweeter. I hope that as many of us as possible will be back this, the First B. A. Graduates tenth, year of our college, to add praise and honor to our most worthy Alma Mater. Most cordially, Louisa HIBBS MEADORS, '12, -55 :F 5:4 With what eagerness we look forward to Commencement! That happy reunion time for classmates, when we are college girls again, filled with life, enthusiasm and loyalty to our Alma Mater. We may come from distant sections, but our interests are always the same-the advancement of Tennessee College, the institution which has meant so much to each of us in other days, and .which still inspires us, year after year, to strive to attain the better things in life. We who are T. Cfs older daughters are especially proud of her, because we realize what hardships she has endured and how much she has accomplished. As we come together this June to celebrate her tenth commencement our hearts will be so full that it will be hard indeed for us to play the part of dignified alumnae. JULIA BROWN RUSSELL, 'IZ.

How time flies! It seems only yesterday that I first entered T. C., the very day her doors were opened, y When we look back over these ten et here we are cele- brating her tenth anniversary. t we have accomplished, I think we have reason to thank C-od and take courage. But there is so much more that T. C. i in a we, her daughters, can do for our Alma Mater. s, er, and we should strive ank of educational institutions in the .years and see wha large measure, what her students make h to keep her in the front r South. ' We, of the Class of 1912, have reason to be proud of the fact d b T. C. All of you that we received the first degrees grante y cannot feel just the same pride, but as you help T. C. to grow and enlarge her sphere of usefulness, you can be proud that you had a share in making such a college: and when you go out into the ' ' F l b world as doctors, lawyers, teachers and wives, you can a so e Pave .sevcnlccn ,,,.' f,- .... ,, X., E preachers, preaching the doctrine of Christian education-a doc- trine which is becoming more popular these days than it was even . C. was born. We, who have had the privilege of attending T. C., and coming in close contact with her cultured, Christian teachers, who have had so large a share in shaping our ideals of life, should covet such a privilege for our ten years ago, when T friends. Let us remember our motto, 'LWhe1'e there is no vision the people perishf, and let us pass the vision on to others who are hungering and thirsting after knowledge. NVith a heart full of love for Tennessee College, and a prayer in my heart that we may all keep her image bright in our hearts and let her influence go out through our lives.
