 To the Class of 1927: Dear co-workers in the noble profession and the lofty service of teaching. Greeting! ith what measure of devotion must you not be grateful for the extraordinary happenings of this last period of your work, the year of grace 1926-27! How fortunate all of you to have participated in the events and activities of this time of abounding life. You have witnessed the remarkable progress that has marked the first year of service of our new and most worthy President. You have heard Temple’s name and fame heralded far and near, and you have seen Temple’s influence and power radiating in ever enlarging circles of usefulness. You have represented Teachers College most creditably in the splendid campaign for funds conducted under the auspices of the Foundation that bears the honored name of Conwell. You have given freely and enthusiastically in means, time, effort and service. It has been a rich harvest that Temple has gleaned, and 1926-27 has also seen the largest numbers and the greatest efficiency in the history of Teachers College. God give you a good morrow, one and all. Long live Temple, and you her children. Sincerely Yours, (Signed) George E. W alk. Dean of the Teachers College. Page Twenty-two

 To the Class of 1927, Greeting: President Conwell was loyal to Temple University to the end. He established a high standard of university loyalty. It is the same as that announced by the Moabitish maiden three thousand years ago when the lovely Ruth said to the mother of her dead husband, “Clod do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me.” 1'his high standard of loyalty begets loyalty in others. All who follow I)r. Conwell will be influenced by his example. President Charles E. Beury brings a new type of loyalty to the University. Having received no benefits from the University, and the University having no emoluments whatsoever to bestow upon him, he is giving himself with reckless abandon to placing Temple University among the foremost universities of the world. He is already influencing each one of us with the strange, mystical power which always magnetizes the man who surrenders himself unreservedly to the service of, and association with, self-sacrificing and courageous youth. Let me urge you to he faithful not only to the end to your University; but to your classmates, to your home, to your city, to your country, and to your God. Very sincerely yours, (Signed) Milton F. Stauffer, Dean of the School of Commerce. Page Twenty-four
