PRESIDENTS GREETINGS To the Students and Alumni of K. S. T. C.: We are pleased to express our appreciation of the faithful services rendered by the Kanza Staff, a service and devotion which has resulted in the production of this beautiful volume. While there are many things we might speak of respecting the splendid progress of K. S. T. C., we wish only at this time to extend these sincere greetings and best wishes of the faculty and president of the Kansas State Teachers College. Please remember that we are here to serve not only the students on our campus, but those who have gone into the fields of service. Kindly let us hear from you when you think our assistance will help you. Yours for a greater and better K. S. T. C., W. A. BRANDENBURG, President. PA 30

GREETINGS It is indeed a great pleasure to be back once more upon the job in our beloved institution. As many of you know, the school year 1928-29 was my opportunity for a leave of absence that I might do some advanced work. The expe- riences of the year were of special value to me and I feel that I have many new contacts and ideas which will be of great help to me in my work among you. I am, therefore, very happy to be called upon by the Kanza Staff to bring greetings to the faculty, student body, alumni and friends of this institution. I am sure that K. S. T. C. was never better organized and never presented a higher standard of work in any and all of the departments than at the present time. The institu- tion, which has been so dear to your hearts and which today is as dear to the hearts of the alumni, friends and faculty who have known it through its struggles and development, is ready to serve in a wider capacity and on a higher scholastic plane than ever before. Therefore, as Dean of the College, I wish to assure each and every one of you that your Alma Mater will always be ready to welcome you to all of its privileges and to share in all of its joys. It has been my great privilege to have been directly or indirectly connected with your Alma Mater from the begin- ning and it has been a joy to invest my life in its growth and development. May its democratic spirit forever remain. May the loyalty of its alumni be unshaken and steadfast. May the progress and enthusiasm of those on the campus be upward and onward until we have attained at least a partial realiza- tion of the ideals of the founders of the institution and those wrho have had the direction of its growth and development. Sincerely yours, G. W. TROUT Dean of the College. PAGE 33
