It is the understanding that a man is a man no matter where his ancestors came from or what his religion may be. It is the knowledge that people are not merely cogs in the machines of life. It is the urge to strive for the better things in life, not merely the mun- dane — to aim for the stars, and not just for the rooftops. It is the understanding of these things which can show the way to success in life. In the Institute ' s fifty-two years of history, customs and traditions have arisen giving first the student and then the alumnus a sense of belonging, a feeling of one- ness, with it. This emotion has arisen, not from any organized effort, but from a spontaneous sense of love and pride. It has arisen because we remember fondly the many occurrences which go to round out life, the football games on a damp November afternoon, the fraternity parties and school dances, Upstream Day and the Tex Show, the visits to the Lobster Cot and Coles Inn, the bull sessions over a bottle of beer, the bridge games in the old Rec Hall, Ma Swanson ' s French cuisine, and the warm and gay comradeship which we have found. These and many more we will remember. These and many more we are now experiencing. This emotion has arisen from a sense of pride in what the Institute has done, in what it is doing, and in what it will do in the future; for Lowell Textile Institute is aiming for the stars.
