,E-Q. . W ,, 'Q . Nagy. v gf N-iii-' L' y N, TO THE CLASS or 1930: 4 You have made many friends during your college course. The Founder frequently said, c'Once a friend, always a friend. The basis of all true friendship is sacrifice. One or two conversations do not make a friend. Friendship is a slow and steady growth. When a friend is won through sacrifice, the bond is eternal. He would be a wretch indeed, who would be untrue to one who had stood by him in a time of need. The member of a family who turns his back upon the family circle is doing violence to the most sacred form of friendship. Hold fast to the everlasting friendships of the home. Next to these are your friends in university life. You have advanced together in an institution where your sacri- Hces have been and where the sacrifice of the Founder is our most precious heritage. Dr. Conwell had thousands of friends. He won the friendship of President Beury. All of Conwellls friends are Beury's friends. Once a friend, always a friendn is the rock foundation on which great works are builded. The rains and the floods and the winds of human passion, greed and envy, beating against this rock lose their power. LY our Alma Mater is your friend and always your friend. Sincerely, Dean, Schoolzof Commerce. y . ii if il, in Y if l X L' 1 y 5 Q. i J ii. N . Y eeee . .441 23 Ip.,
