his message to the class of '63 Members of the Class of 1963: My compliments to you on this fine edition of the SAGA. A college yearbook is primarily a memorial of one class, a record of its progress through the trials and triumphs of four under- graduate 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 confi- dent that we can all be proud of the manner in which this SAGA represents the College. Siena is a young college and a comparatively small one. But youth and modest size have their advantages. In a more venerable institu- tion, four years is a relatively insignificant per- iod of time; in a large college the influence of faculty and students on each other and on the institution is likely to be less than in our situ- ation. In the twenty-six year hisrory of Siena College your four years and modest numbers have witnessed and contributed developments which will exert a marked influence on the spirit and traditions of your college. As alumni, too, your contributions to the reputation of Siena will be of greater signific- ance than if you were numbered in the 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 confident that you will not only uphold but enhance a reputation that depends on deeds rather than on the output of a professional publicity ap- paratus. Your education has been the mutual en- deavor of yourselves and your college. That community of interest and purpose has forged bonds which should endure and find continued expression in participation in alumni activities. I trust that the class of '63 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 Godls blessing be with you always. Sincerely yours, lRevJ Edmund F. Christy, O.F.M.
