The President's Message to the Tower Too often a college is measured by the size of its student body. If we used that standard, the present year 1935-36 is the most successful in its history, for the total enrollment in each of the three quarters has been the largest in the respec- tive quarters since it was established. But the real measure PRESIDENT UBL W. LAMKIN of such an institution is i the quality of Work that is done in it, and the success of those Who complete its courses. This year marks the second full year of our general courses. Some of you go into your junior year, some start teaching. We will be interested in knowing Whether or not the general courses Work.', And We, who are here at the college from year to year, will be interested in each of you Whose names are in this book, and in each of you who get one of them. No matter What you may do, nor where you may be, We hope the Tower will be, not only a reminder of the days you were here, but a tie that will bind you to your college and to your friends, and them to you, throughout the years. UEL W. LAMKIN, President. I-'gl
