Wow 05 3a zuczzm From the depths of your morris chair While the smoke curves from your meerschaum pipe, upward, Relive your Miami days, your college years; 14nd revel in her past, her present, 143 she glories in your achievement. N presenting these graduates of Miami University the nineteen thirty-five RECENSIo has picked a group of people who repre- sent successful achievement in a wide va- riety of work. We have, of course, not been able to include all those who have attained distinction in one way or another, but have rather, taken a representative group, and may we say that in doing so we honor all our alumni who have helped make Miami what it is today. N , Each year the university sends our many grad- uates to take their places in the world and perhaps if one were to look around and see what some of her former graduates are do- ing, he will feel that he has avery high goal toward which to work. It is the worthwhile person who makes his university proud of him and furnishes an inspiration for those who will follow him into the world outside. All life is not serious, of course, but many of us may forget while living the protected life that we do, that we have a serious l7 problem ahead of us upon being graduated from college. Whether it be in the busi- ness, scientific, art, or any other field of endeavor. N In this group of grad:- uates which we have selected are scientists, business men, teachers, authors, attorneys, and people of a number of other professions. Many of these graduates have told us that they do not feel that they deserve to be fea- tured in this section. Perhaps they feel a bit modest about the work that they have done. We want them to know, though, that the nineteen thirty-five RECENSIO considers them as some of the distinguished graduates of Miami University. N Many of her graduates have since passed away, and among them, some of the country,s most honored citizens. To them we pay our deepest respects. We shall long remember what they have done, and if only a few of us could help carry on the work that they have started, we feel that life has been more worthwhile for having given us the inspi- ration of their deeds.
