E?mastings TO THE STUDENTS or SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY WHILE I am thinking oI an appropriate greeting to express to the students of our University through The Rotunda, I become cIouthuI that such a greeting is possible. I doubt this because oI the realization that to voice a sentiment that would reach the whole student body, I shouIcI have to Imow personaIIy the many diverse personalities that compose it. And with this acquaint- ance I should have to Imow their ambitions, their joys, their sorrows, their achievements and their limitations. Realizing that I cannot gain this necessary ImowIeche I must phrase my greeting on a chord vitaI enough to strike a response in the heart oI any young man or woman. This, then, being my objective, I can only hope that your secret ambition, the one that you have cherished since you can remember, wiII in some measure be IuI- IiIIecI. And I am constrained to add the hope that in your oIoI-age reminiscences you wiII look back and believe that the time spent on our campus contributed to your happiness and success. Sincerer yours, CHARLES C. SELECMAN

GILBERT, rDallas H. N. PETERS, Waxmlmclzie The purpose of the Advisory Committee of Southern Methodist University is best stated in an address by lVIr. J W. Blanton, the Chairman of the Committee: ttJesus believed in proper pube licity, and he used that as his plan for the establishment of his kingdom among men, and we have ample evidence of the great success of his plan. Would it be unwise to adopt his plan in making known the plan of the University for the building of life and Character? Would those in authority be held blameless if they failed to tell the story which would point the way to a better and more use- ful life? Is it not then our duty as members of this committee to spread abroad the fullest informa- tion concerning the University, which, if done intelligently, will surely bring this inspiration? It is, therefore, the object and purpose of the Advisory Committee to broadcast the thorough work which we know to be so much in evidence at S. M. U., in order that the whole country may know what it offers, so its inHuence may be extendedWeDEAN E. D. JENNINGS. a 14 e
