Message Dear Seniors — May I share with you one of my treasures that was given to me by my favorite professor, Dr. Lowell E. Noland. His thoughts express my true feeling about you. If I had known you less I would not grieve Seeing the year its course has nearly run. I would be glad our task is almost done, Glad for the bit of rest we shall receive. It would not trouble me to see you leave; And, walking through the halls and classrooms where We meet so often now, their emptiness Would not oppress me when you are not there. It would not matter much; I would not care; — If I had known you less. But I have watched your minds and hearts grow strong. Pitted against the problems of the hour; And I have felt a deep, upwelling power, As, like a mighty wave, you surge along Into the future, where your lives belong, — The radiant future, where your dreams will grow And flower and fruit upon some distant shore. To watch your progress there I may not go, But I rejoice in prospect even so, Knowing the promise you have shown before, Certain of its fulfillment more and more. Remember this is your Alma Mater, come to see us when you can and keep us informed of your activities. Sincerely, rffcfr ' yh-t- 2w £
