DEDICATION Looking back on our undergraduate years at Siena we Find that the Class of 1961 has witnessed an important transition in the College's historyt Though founded at first to educate young men of the Capital District, by completion of the Serra and Plassmann Hall boarding facilities, Siena enters a new stage of endeavor. It seems fitting there- fore, that at this point we make an assessment of the College's initial achievements, as those achievements are represented in her graduatesethe alumni. In a sense the alumnus is of more consequence than the undergraduate. He is an integral part of the college and stands as a. tangible tribute to his Alma Matetethe finished product of mutual cooperation among student, faCLilty, and institution. Com- mencement represents a beginning and the graduate enters into a new relationship with his Alma Mater. This relationship manifests itself in the participation, loyalty, and assistance afforded the college by her alumni so that she may continue to nourish the youth entrusted to her care. We find that the young alumni of Siena College are meeting these Challenges and obligations. The comaraderic, interest, and purpose that united them as under- graduates has continued beyond graduation and exists today in their chapter activities. Their assistance through the establishment of scholarship funds, their participation in the social activities of the College, their interest and help as expressed in their return on Career Day, their return to Siena as members of the facultyeall demonstrate their continued loyalty and pride in their Alma Mater. Therefore, wishing to pay tribute to the members of our alumni and to remind our fellow graduates that they shall be expected to uphold these traditions, the Class of 1961 dedicates this SAGA to those whose ranks we are about to join-the alumni of Siena College. $11 The Siena College Alumni Association was founded in 1941 with the emergence of the first graduating class. Under the chaplaincies 0f the late Fr. Anselm A. Krieger, O.F.M. and Fr. Benjamin Kuhn, O.F.M., it has grown to embrace over four- thousand members. Presently chapters are established in Syracuse, New York City, New Jersey, Albany, Troy, Schenectady, Watervliet, Cohoes, Mechanic- ville, Kingston, Amsterdam and Poughkeepsie. The purpose of the Alumni Association is to pro- mote fellowship and association among the grad- uates as well as interest and support of the activities Attorney J.
