obscurity of a few years ago and now the name f'DenisonH in equally known with the larger and older colleges of this country. Come, go with me for a short time along the Alumni trail from yesterday. It is an interesting journey. The trail leads all over the world. In far away China it leads us, through the valleys and over the hills, where the name of Ashmore proclaims Denison to that heathen people. The trail leads us into the fastnesses of Assam where the names of Tuttle and King and Nettie Purcell Mason illum- inate that firmament of darkness. Into India we follow the trail, where in Rangoon the work of Hicks stands as a monument to Denison, his Alma lVIater, and where now St. John has taken the labor Hicks laid down, and where Linn Hattersley and Helen Hunt are freely giving of their labors. Next that trail takes us into Calcutta where Waldo Heinrich is Hearrying on and thus honoring his Denison. f'Denison carved through that flowery kingdom by Earl Bull and other loyal Denison men and women. Again among the unspeakable Turksl' the trail is not lost for Harold Scott, in the educational work and Owen Price in the business world, are blazing the trail with Denison Red. In war stricken France, Harold Thomas is opening wide the Denison Trail, while the graves of Denison's sons tell the tale of Denison glory. In hard-pressed Germany we find that trail again kept open by the self-sacrificing work of Freda Rauschenbush Fetzer and her daughter Bertha. - But what a 'fDenison Trail from Yesterday we have in this our Native Land, verily if one attempts to follow it he will be led up every mountain side and through every valley. He will be led into every city and hamlet in this broad land, for the Denison men and women are everywhere, and everywhere they are talking, acting, singing Denison into the hearts of the young and in the homes of the aged. Into business, into politics, into education, into religion the trail of Denison leads, and scattered all along the trail are sweet-scented fragrances of Granville town. Yea, verily, Dr. Chamberlain spoke only the truth when he said the Alumni advertise Denison, and the high class advertising the Alumni give the college could be obtained from no other source. The Alumni do not disparage in any particular the advertising qualities of the Glee Club, the Athletic teams or the student body, but yet insist that they, the Alumni, are the greatest advertising medium Denison possesses.

Executive Committee THE DENISON ALUMNI At a meeting of the Presidents of Baptist Colleges held in Chicago several months ago, one question discussed was '4College Advertising . The President of Denison made the statement at that meeting that, HDenison depended for advertising on her Alumniu. And truly in this regard the Alumni have never failed their Alma Mater. All over the World the sons and daughters of Denison are holding aloft the Red Banner of the Collegeg and singing- To Denison we raise our song, Fair college on the Hilln. So persistent are the Alumni in this advertising that Denisonians need no longer apologize for the obscurity of the college, for she has emerged from that Page 26
