4-:Tie-2 . K If w1'vq:sf:f 2 vt' 'fb J rv- AA.. AN OPE LETTER FROM THE PRE IDE T Dear Mr. Laffrey: Within the covers of this book are recounted some of the highlights of the year. The book is important to its readers both for what it reveals and for the fond memories which it inspires. As an alumnus of Olivet and as her President, I ask you to share with me a just pride in our Alma Mater. We may well be proud of her cherished traditions, of her purposes and direc- tion, of the famed Olivet Spirit, of her devotion to the laws of God and the rights of men, of her glorious victories and of her unbowed head above crushing defeats. Our pride is sea- soned with humility before the greatness of her forebears, before the grand achievements of her sons and daughters, before the patience of Almighty God with our failures and short- comings. Through the years you will have occasion to refer frequently to this issue as an estimable supplement to the recollection of happy years spent here. l hope that your reflections will grow in significance with the passing years and that your loyalty as a student will mature to even higher loyalty as an alumnus. Olivet has left its mark upon you, the significance of the mark which you have made has yetlto be determined. You may leave the Olivet campus, but the spirit of Olivet goes wit you. , My best wishes and congratulations. Sincerely yours , Gorton Riethmiller Page 4
