FR. EDMUND F. CHRISTY, O.F.M. PRESIDENT Members of the Class of 1962: My compliments to you on this fine edition of the SAGA. A college yearbook is primarily a memo- rial of one class, a record of its progress through the trials and triumphs of four undergraduate years. This is your yearbook, but it will have a wider circulation than you may expect. It will reach many people, and for some of them will form their only impression of Siena College and its students. I am confident that we can all be proud of the manner in which this SAGA represents the College. The '62 SAGA has the distinction of appearing during Siena's twenty-fifth year and of helping to mark that anniversary. A twenty-five year old college is still very youngeivy, both real and figurative, is scarce-but youth has its advantages. In a more ven- erable institution four years is a relatively insignifi- cant period, and two hundred and fifty people a small group. In the short history of Siena College your four years and your modest numbers have witnessed and contributed developments which will exert marked influence on the spirit and traditions of your College. As alumni, too, your contributions to the reputa- tion of Siena will be of greater significance than if you were numbered in tens of thousands. You will find more opportunities open to you, your success more assured, because preceding graduates have made the name of Siena known and respected. I am con- fident that you will not only uphold but enhance a reputation that depends on your deeds rather than on reams of artificial publicity. Your education has been the mutual endeavor of yourselves and your college. That community of in- terest and purpose has forged bonds which should endure and find continued expression in participa- tion in alumni activities. I trust that the Class of '62 Will add more than its share to the alumni body which of necessity reflects what the College is, but of choice can help make it better still. May God's bleessing be with you always. Sincerely yours, 17
