!Q'e5ic!enIf2 medmge This ACORN is a record oT The TirsT normal year aT Coe since l94O. While The war was over lasT year, The men did noT begin To come back To The campus very rapidly unTil The spring quarTer. BUT The academic year '46-'47 has seen The renewal oT a greaT number oT Things: a Tull schedule oT aThleTic games, a revival oT war-dormanT acTiviTies, a more normal disTribuTion oT men and women, and a wholesome revival oT inTeresT in liberal sTudies. While The sudden expansion To peaceTime ways has caused some crealc- ing aT The ioinTs and shown some laclcs in physical conveniences, l Think we all had a good year. Perhaps The mosT imporTanT Thing Tor The College iTselT has been The launching oT our CenTennial Campaign Tor The Alumni Social STudies Building and Tor The Fine ArTs Building. We hope These buildings can be erecTed by The Time we celebraTe our TirsT one hundred years oT progress in I95 I. As our youngesT alumni class, '47 will wanT To have a parT boTh in shaping our plans and in seeing Them broughT To TruiTion. ln my Travels around Toalumni groups, l have learned abouT The inTeresT and aTTecTion oT hundreds oT our alumni. You who are graduaTing This year have ample reason To be proud oT your disTinguished predecessors, and They, in Turn, may Talce iusT pride in you. I hope you will noT TorgeT ThaT we oT The campus Tamily shall Tollow your progress wiTh greaT concern, ThaT we shall applaud your successes and sorrow wiTh your misTorTunes. Keep alive your inTeresT in Coe, your TosTering moTherg iT will mean much boTh To her and To you. We shall always welcome your re- Turns, and we shall always wish The very besT oT everyThing Tor each oT you. Sincerely, BYRON S. l-TOLLINSI-TEAD
