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.

Gross Class History ITHIX our grasp lies the goal which lias required four long years V TT of earnest toil and endeavor for us to attain — graduation. As we VV reflect upon the events of mutual interest which transpired dur- ing these years of association, memory reveals many things we might have done but failed to do. however, any regrets that would seek a place in our reminiscences are soon put to flight by the remembrance of noble achievements accomplished, of battles fought andvictories won. In our life as a class we have encountered many obstacles in our road to advancement. Ere we had ceased to reflect the youthful collegians ' custom- ary verdancy, we began to advocate progress. Even as in the world where the author of new movements has invariably been subjected to unjust criti- cism, so have we often been the object of censure and undue antagonism when we attempted the introduction of new principles in college life. Nevertheless, we have never deviated from our early progressive ideas, and as we pass out from the loved portals of our Alma Mater, our prayer is that we may have done somi ' ig during our short stay here which will in a measure compen- sate our collt ;.e for the countless opportunities she has given us. Upon our ent into college we boasted of a class thirty in number — one of the largest that ever entered this institution. Unfortunately, four years of varied experiences have brought with them a changing personnel in class roll, so that as we near our Commencement of life ' s work we find but twenty- five members rallying around our chosen standards. As Freshmen we decided to keep before us continually the motto. Abeunt studia in mores. Now, as a graduating class we feel certain that the high standard of intellectuality which we have maintained throughout our college course is but a criterion to the type of character which our life of daily asso- ciation has fostered in us. Indeed, the class of 1915 has assisted materially in raising the standards of many college activities. Our contribution to ath- letics, oratory, music and science will be remembered long after we have been lost in life ' s busy malestrom. Happy have been the days which constituted our sojourn here. But an- other day is fast approaching: a day when we must meet as a class for the last time: when we separate to go forth in the world, each as a live power, for o-ood ' or evil. May our standard of excellence continue to advance! May our future history be a record of noble deeds and charitable actions! Page Twenty-nine
