' ' .11 A ' 'x . .- -' ,,' S Chairman of the General Committee on Arrangements for the coming Reunion, I am asked by the editor of the Annual to say a few words to the Alumni and former students. You come back to an Oberlin which islboth new and old. New, in the sense of new equipment, new buildings, new Faculty, new students. Prob- ably even those of you who have been out but a few years will be' sur- prised to see what changes those few years have brought about in the Faculty, and how many are the teachers with whom you have no personal acquaintance. You will find, too, the buildings increased- a new chapel and a new library building, while the old. library building is to be remodeled for zoological purposes, and so be- come, to all intents and purposes, a new building. And if you take the trouble to go through the buildings, you will be im- pressed with the extent of new equipment. To give but a single example: if you go into the basement of Peters Hall, you will find two or three large rooms given up to the physical laboratory, where formerly there were great coal bins, and if you go into the upper stories, you will find there ample facilities for the Dsychological laboratory, which was housed so long in a little room up under the roof. But while all these things will suggest a new Oberlin to you, there will be much also to suggest the old Qberlin. The Campus, with its stately elms, the older veterans in the Faculty, together with a goodly number of the younger men who in your days were College or society mates: these will be reminders to you of the Qberlin which was.

present students, you will discover that the spirit of youth does not greatly change, and that the same ideals and aspirations are to be found in the student body now as in days of yoreg and therefore, I believe, you will conclude that in spite of new faces and new build- ings, the Oberlin that was is in essence the sanie as the Oberlin that is, and you will have confidence t-o look forward with joyous expec- tation to the Uberlin that is to be. llfhether or not the old and the new thus seem to you to blend, I hope that the work which you find here will seem to you worth doing, and the leadership wise and progressive. To an extent not paralleled anywhere else, Qberlin draws its students from a world constituency. And it is able to do this because its Alumni and former students are so loyal. In this loyalty, based not on mere sentiment, but in a genuine confidence in the College, the Faculty and the President, is our strength and our hope for the future. i 2. - ut yta a .v 2 48 4,, V , . .. i. ,.
