students. Other college men have often spoken to me of what they felt was the unusual and enthusiastic loyalty of Oberlin Alumni. And Oberlin cer- tainly cannot complain that its Alumni have not generously supported it. It is, of course, true, that thruout its history so large a portion of the Alumni, have gone into preaching and teaching that the financial ability of the Alumni, as a whole, has never been large. But this record of ideal service is, itself, a record of achievement, and a legitimate cause of pride, and it has given Oberlin Alumni who have been naturally interested in seeing that many other young people found their way to the College. It is in line with this record, in the professions of preaching and teaching, that it has been recently found. that over one-sixth of all the missionaries of the American Board in active service, have been either students of Oberlin College or Oberlin Seminary. The number of graduates now looking to business, is naturally larger than in the earlier years, and will in time afford to the College a larger number of Alumni capable of bringing to their Alma Mater great resources. But even in the past, it has been true that many of the most significant gifts to the College have come from its own graduates. In any case, the faith, the loyalty, the enthusiasm, the character, and the service of its Alumni body, are more to the College than money, and in the end are certain to insure for it even such material means as may be needed. The College rejoices in this best of all wealth that it has in its Alumni, and hopes for still closer and more helpful relation between the College and its Alumni. It hopes to serve as well as to be served, and it sends, once more, to its former students everywhere, thru this new channel of the College Annual, its hearty and faithful greetings. HENRY CHURCHILL KING. 27
