To You, Our Alma Mater At this period in our lives, we are not capable of fully realizing many benefits that you, “Old Rhode Island, have bestowed upon us. We have enjoyed already the fruits of many of your gifts, — some day, perhaps, we will appreciate all of them. Perhaps the most beneficial and significant of your contributions towards our welfare is your assistance in the molding and developing of onr character. This process of evolution of our character is not ordinarily recognized by us until it is nearly time for us to depart from the institution. However, when the fact does strike us that Dr. Edwards and the faculty are all struggling in order to make us better men and letter women, our hearts go out to them. But then, it is almost too late. We cannot glean in a few months that which requires several years to absorb. Only too well do we realize now that we should have commenced to follow valuable advice, which cost us practically nothing, in our freshman year, rather than in the last part of our senior year. Furthermore, “Old Rhody,” you have furnished us with an education, rich in its value, but low in its cost. Most of us come from families that are not wealthy enough to permit us to attend institutions where it is necessary to possess larger amounts of money. But who, and where, can anyone acquire a better education, if diligent, than at Rhode Island State College? The answer is, invariably — “a stu- dent, if he works hard, can secure just as much knowledge at Rhode Island as he can at any other institution.” I have mentioned only two of the most predominant gifts of Rhode Island State College to its undergraduates, but there arc many more. For each and every one of your gifts, the Present Senior Class wishes to thank you. Again, we thank you !
