tSiMivBM0 Is it any wonder that, with such a spirit clearly manifest, those charged with the leadership of Temple University cannot help but contemplate the future of the institution with the utmost confidence? Yours sincerely, (Signed) Charles E. Beury, President. When, following the death of the Founder, the Trustees planned a movement for the expansion of his work in the way in which they knew he had visioned it, the highest expectations in regards to the response of the students were entertained by the Board. It is no exaggeration to say that their fondest hopes were not only realized but surpassed. The part played by the students of Temple University, men and girls alike, in the Russell H. Conwell Fund Campaign, justified every ounce of energy and every particle of devotion infused into the movement by those in charge of it. For it must be remembered that, in the last analysis, the students of Temple—those of the present and of the future—are to be the ultimate beneficiaries of the campaign. The attitude of the students in the intensive period of the movement— their unquenchable enthusiasm, their whole-hearted devotion, their touching loyalty, expressing itself in real sacrifices too numerous to mention—demonstrated that they were fully worthy of the efforts put forth in their behalf. In the “Student-Faculty” phase of our campaign, the students, as well as their professors and instructors, not only did their share manfully and dutifully—they covered themselves with glory. In this phase of the work, a greater sum was realized than any amount ever given by the students of any institution of higher learning to their Alma Mater—and that despite the fact that a considerable portion of Temple men and women “work their way through, and that their contributions often represented great additional personal sacrifice. To the Class of 1927: In the year which has now drawn to its close, the students of Temple University have demonstrated their mettle and loyalty in such a manner that this message must needs become a word of sincere thanks as well as of cordial greeting.
