-rf leaf! Illu 2, tst, I , 1 l ' 'im lull l illl alnlla If By Vera Brooke, '07 T has been said that one may accurately judge the true worth of a college from the spirit displayed by its Alumni. In this sense the attitude of the Occidental Alumnus to his Alma Mater is the very best advertisement that the College 1- could hope to find, for without exception you find him enthusiastic, loyal, proud to be numbered among her graduates. Educators assert that the main' aim in education is to instill ideals, and E loyalty to one's college is one of the types of ideals which serves to spur one on to greater effort. The college which can imbue its students with such loyalty is doing more to equip them for the battle of life than the institution which simply ins structs, no matter how faithfully that instruction may be done. In glancing over the roster of Occidental Alumni we find many evidences of the ideals gained, while in college in the kind of work being done, while the lives of others are a living monument to the work of the College in their lives. In the mission field, in the pulpit and in the various professions you will find the Alumni of Occidental true to the ideals entrusted to them by their Alma Mater. Fifteen years ago Occidental College sent out its first band of Alumni and each year since then has seen it added to, until now they number not quite a hundred. This year will see the largest graduating class in the history of the institution sent out to swell the number of Alumni. In calling the roll of this bodyvthe responses come from every part of our own country and from almost every quarter of the globe, including China, Korea, Africa, Mexico, South America and Europe. ' Though scattered so far apart and separated for so many years from the College no one rejoices in her success more than the Alumni. Many of them recall vividly the days when the College struggled through deep waters, and now, when after many trials and years of uncertainty, she is reaping the fruits of that struggle, they see their faith and love justified. Having had the opportunity of graduating from Occidental College and seeing the value of that opportunity, the Alumni wished to do what they could to help others to that opportunity. And so last year they established a scholarship, which has been named the Horace Cleland Memorial Scholarship, in honor of that one of their number who was called out from such a promising life here to thelarger life beyond. From the body of the Alumni, scattered as they are to the ends of the earth, but united in their faith and' loyalty to Occidental, comes a welcome to the class about to leave the College and join them in the world of life. And always will they lift their voices in praise and love to their Alma Mater. 21
