l l t i This year marks the 75th anniversary of Drexel's founding. lt is a year of reflection and evaluation with respect to the past, of planning and concern tor the future. lt is a year to reminisce, but not blindly, to admit and accept the faults we cannot change and to correct the ones we can. But most of all it should be a year to take another look at our Alma Mater, for what it stands, its purposes, its traditions. It should be a time to express our respect and gratitude to the Founder of this institution and to our predecessors who have made it what it is for us today. We can never repay them, for they have gone their separate ways, but our concern, in their memory, is to dedicate ourselves to their purpose and in their honor renew the spirit and tradition of Drexel for those who follow.

The Drexel Institute was the outcome of those ideas, and it should be taken as representing the well-matured purpose ot its founder: Said corporation is formed for the purpose of maintaining an Industrial School . . . which shall afford persons of both sexes, on equal terms, opportunities for education and improvement in art, science, and industry.
