The 1921 Zenith President9s Greeting A publication like the Zenith gives one an intimate view with the life of a college. It treats of things ‘grave and gay’ in a very familiar and unrestrained way. It is a family chit chat around the home fireside. Those who have left the old college home can again enter the charmed circle. It is an opportunity for new friends to enter deeply into the family life. j The door is open, wide open. Simpson is at home to friends new and old. Walk in and make yourself at home. Share our delightful family circle. Listen to our jest and jollity, our dreams and our plans. We are not ashamed of our home life. There arc no skeletons in our closets. Some of our rooms are not as well furnished as we would like and some of our clothes are a little thread- bare. But our poverty is honest poverty and our home life is rich, and stimulating. Old friends will find many new faces among both faculty and students, but the spirit is the same. Simpson spirit is self-propagating. It is con- tagious and perennial. We arc just completing a new front door to our home —we are proud of our new Administration Building. We are confidently expecting ere long to have a chapel new and yet old. Old friends arc proposing to refurnish and refinish it as a token of affection for the old home. We expect to give it a new name and call it Memorial Hall. Look upon those who leave us this year. We expect great things of them. Who has fairer sons and daugh- ters? They are worthy of their ancestry and of your acquaintance. Some of them have thrilling stories to tell of service of their country. Some of them have heard the cry of the hopeless and with torches kindled at our altar fires are setting their faces in the direction of the distant lands. From all of them we expect real sacrificial service. Again we bid you welcome to our fireside. John L. Hii.lman. t
