Numbers, how- ever, do not mark its only increase. Spirit and interest for the Old School has been awakened, and from the remote corners of the earth there frequently comes to us messages from former Susquehanna students. Our activities are more and more becoming their activities. The Y. M. C. A., Athletics, our weekly Susquehanna, and funds for new improvements all have felt the beneficent aid of our loyal Alumni. The call for aid has been sent out quite frequently in the past few years, but our Alumni have not been found wanting, — they are on the job, always ready and willing to do whatever they can to help make a greater Susquehanna. Then, too, we who are yet students are spurred on to action by the achievements which are being won in the big world by Susquehanna men. Ministers are leading their profes- sion in its strife against sin. Lawyers are successfully pleading their cases. Doctors are bringing health and happiness to those who have broken down under the strain and stress of toil. Statesmen and Congressmen are making laws for the people. Teachers are ex- pounding their knowledge in the battle of education. In every walk of life, Susquehanna men are doing big things, all of which are radiations from the original source of their suc- cess — their beloved Alma Mater.
