Pomp, circumstance— May 7 was the day when nearly 100 Southwestern students, the class of 1978, became alumni. Behind the ceremonial business of graduation were mingled feelings of pride, sad- ness, joy, anticipation of the future, and, for many, a feeling of relief at reaching the end of four years ' work.

Brown funds enhance Southwestern The Brown Foundation of Houston continued to contribute to the univer- sity this year, and a new program was added through Brown Founda- tion funds. The Brown Scholars program was implemented as six students were designated as Brown Scholars , to receive scholarships beginning next year. The first recipients include Joe Cross, Maralee Buttery, Judy An- thony and Matthew Daude, as well as two freshmen planning to enter Southwestern in the fall of 1978. The Brown Challenge in 1977 met and topped its goal for the second consecutive year in the twenty-year matching grant program. Students, faculty, alumni and friends of the university donated to the drive. The first students selected as Brown Scholars include Judy Anthony, Matthew Daude, Maralee Buttery and Joe Cross. 26
