A illirsaugv from the lirwihrnt For 107 years Allegheny College has stood for sound education. Bentley Hall was erected before there was a railroad in the United States. Only forty other American Colleges were founded earlier than Allegheny. The Alumni of the College today hold strategic posts of leadership in the Nation's indus- trial and professional life and are exerting a powerful influence for good in both Church and State. Allegheny has never been swept by any wave of educational fanaticism, whatsoever. The sons and daughters of this College are characterized by strength, poise, patriotism and a zeal for righteousness. The Million and a Quarter Dollars pledged for the increase of Allegheny's resources last year, when paid, will advance the total capitalization of the College to three and one-half millions. It should be increased to five millions at the earliest possible date, The most pressing needs of the College at present are: First-An Alumni Hall, affording accommodations for administrative offices, eight class rooms, eight professors' oflices, an auditorium with seating capac- ity ol' 1,000. Second-A dorlnitory for freshmen men. Third-One and one-half million dollars for additional Endowment. The undergraduates and the Alumni of the College are equally interested to give their Alma Mater unsurpassed position among the medium-size Colleges of the Nation. Two thousand living Alumni can do for Allegheny whatever should be done. There is encouraging indication to believe they will do what should be done. T'

Gln Ezntlrgli mum Steps Often do they pause to wonder, Those who pass your way, Of the many feet who trod you In the far-off yesterday. Of the hundred years you've lain here Do you silent record keep, Of the ones who passed above you And whose footsteps wore you deep? Could you tell of men of vision In those early days who stood Foremost i11 the line of workers Laboring for other's good? Could you tell of those who follow, Each one great in his own way, Teaching, hoping, praying, building, Noble sons of yesterday? Could you tell of men of action Who in the dark Sixties went Marching forth to save the Union By their Alma Mater sent? Some returned, but some had fallen Nevermore to breathe the air Of the Allegheny Campus But their spirit lingers there. Again you felt the marching footsteps This time Khaki forms went by, In the spirit that still lingers For democracy to die. Days of joy and days of sorrow, Times that peace and war have made Great things these that you have witnessed That through time will never fade.
