We ask that you preserve the sturdy traditions of our alma materg that you continue to instill the prin- ciple of sound Christian manhood and womanhood unto our boys and girlsg that you teach them the littleness of superficial polish and the true greatness of honest effort, that they may look beyond the outer adornment to the inner soulg that you instruct them to the end that they realize and value their privileges of citizenship in the great American republic which owes its preservation to the happy outcome of Gettysburg's battleg that you infuse them with the idea that four years of college life do not complete education, but that all life is given us for fuller, wider learning .

, .' .- '-,1f V - J3r5f.'i - 4 ' 1 ,,, L, ,,,,,L, have you become a resident of our campus. Ever since your election as President of Pennsylvania College, we have been eagerly looking forward to the time when you should assume the duties of that office and we should have the pleasure of making your acquaint- ance. The student body places great confidence in your administration. ln athletics, literary, editorial and religious works there has been sounded a deeper keynote-that of a pure, unselfish devotion to our college, with a determination to strive for a Greater Gettysburg. We give you as our President, our pledge of support. We are united in a common cause to promote the welfare of our college and in all things, whose motive is her advancement, we promise our hearty co-operation. May she advance under your administration as she never has before advanced in her history . . ,.wH7'ra1f'iJ1z7 '1 rr.'fv:r '14 sw 1 ,. .. v-1, -U s - v:-u: f:.- ' q -mfs., 1 vis- 'f fwmz- ff:-nw., at-1:4 A f 31: 3 , - .51 .311 s-r:fJr.ae t1f5,. :,1.tJ'.s: asia .f 1,4 .ss 1,1 -,, t 41 251' 4 -f: aaa.mvga:z l it gi. is flisl lf? .L ' ,.....a .

I am for the improvement of our courses and for progress along all lines, but I believe it should be a progress of evolution rather than a revolution. Let us hold fast to all the old that has served us so well and with open minds examine and test the new, The foundations here have been laid broad and deep, and it is for us to build on them wisely and well. ln the realm of higher education there are two important questions now under special consideration. One has to do with the training of engineers and the other has reference to the so-called denominational school. As we offer no engineering courses here most of the young men from our constituency who wish to take up engineering go elsewhere for part or all of their college work. Shall we increase the number of our courses in order to be able to educate such young men here where they naturally belong, or shall we continue our work as outlined? There are four general plans to choose from. Page Fourteen 5
