the hope o the committee in all its p ' anning to make this the grardest homecoming time Monmouth has ever known. To this end com- munication has been ope ned up with every member of the Alumni and with old students so far as possible. Monmouth ' s children have scattered far from the old home. Many of them have attained high rank and distinction. But wherever they have gone and to whatever heights they have attained, they have remained true to their Alma Mater. As this is written, many of them, doubtless seeing visions of the old halls and the old haunts, and are longing for them, much as Goldsmith longed for the scenes of his earlier days. In all my wanderings ' round this world of care. in all my griefs — and God has given me my share, 1 still had hopes, my latest hours to crown. Amidst these humble bowers to lay me down. Indeed there lies before me just now a le:ter from one of the busiest and most highly honored of these in which he says I am afraid 1 shall not give very close attention to oral arguments that day as I know my heart will be in old Monmouth. Many VA ill be present in body, others in heart only, but however present may the influence of the old college on the prairies touch again all who have walked her halls and listened for the sound of her bell. Wherever Monmouth s children may bs on Tuesday and Wednesday, June fifth and sixth, may they pause and give a thought to and breathe a prayer for their Alma Mater. Program.
