DRURY COLLEGE sPmNm3FlEl.u, Mlssclum 0 SPECIAL LETTER From the PRESIDENTS OFFICE To all Druryites: This is one of the important and unique years in Drury's history. At the moment, - to those of us who are daily going about the regular business of the academic year, it may seem to be little different than others. But five, ten, or twenty-five years from now, we will constitute that handful of the Drury family who can say: Uwe were there on the campus and helped celebrate the 75th Anniversary.N There is a special place in the order of things for those who are privileged to be residents of the campus in this particular year. In more ways than one, all of us have the unusual opportunity to set the precedents upon -which the next quarter of a century will be built. Whether the spirit of the college is great when it celebrates its century of existence will depend in considerable part on what is transmitted from the past through us to the future. Thus, since a college is no greater than the ideals which it serves, - let us - in this Diamond Jubilee Year - make the three words: NChristo-et-Humanitatin the central and living symbol of our Alma Mater. Cordially yours, I J. F' Find ay
