Again I thank the Brothers of the Christian Schools for their zealous devotion to the ideals of Christian educationg I am grateful to the Parent Teachers Association and to the many friends of Price College for their assistance: I deeply appre- ciate the loyalty of the parents of our students. My cordial greetings and congratulations to Price College, to the Faculty, to the students and particularly to the Graduating Class of 1953.
