PREXYIS MESSAGE OU will prize this book more and more as the years pass by. Often in time to come you will turn the pages of the Hun to look again at the faces of those who have guided you while you were enrolled as a student in Boston University. The photographs of your classmates will help you to relive the dear and unforget- able days of your undergraduate course at Boston University. Keep the Hun! It means much today: it will mean more tomorrow. and it will mean increasingly more with all of the tomorrows of life. Keep it as a token of Boston University's belief in you. If the University had not believed in you, you could not have been admitted as a student three years ago. If we had not continued to believe in you, you could not have advanced from one class to another. I am confident that you will continue to give the University in- creasing reasons for faith in you. You will desire to do much for Boston University after you graduate. Let me suggest two ways in which you can render the University a distinct service right now: First: You can be the kind of student that will give the University ust reason for pride in you. It is the behavior of our students both inside and outside the class room that gives the comnnmity its impression of Boston University. I like to think of our students as being marked by their good manners as well as by their superior scholarship. Next year is to be your senior year. Resolve now that it will be your banner year in the University. Keep in mind that the most important thing is the education you get- the accumulation of knowledge, the discipline of mind, the development of personality to meet life situations. Do each day's work each day. Second: Our present student body of nearly twelve thousand Qthe largest in New Englandj is about as large as we can serve effectively. But the pushing forward of the underclassmen to take the places vacated on Commencement Day will enable us to take in more than a thousand new students this Fall. You have the privilege and opportunity of determining the quality of the incoming Freshman Class. There- fore, get in touch with the most promising High School graduates in your com- munity, and tell them why you chose Boston University, and why you consider it the best for them. If they are not interested in the College of Liberal Arts, perhaps you may be able to interest them in some other Department of the University. You are enthusiastic for Boston University: pass your enthusiasm on to others. Tell them of Boston University's size, its strength, its fame, its ideals, its high academic standards, its cosmopolitan character, its democratic nature. At my Inauguration as President of Boston University, I said: I come among the students with a feeling of friendliness, warmth, sympathy, appreciation, fellow- shipf' A year's comradeship with you only intensifies this feeling. Ever yours, 0' U Pres'idcnt 8
