20 DR. PERRY T. FORD, Chairman, Board of Trustees, Tri-State College. TO ALL ALUMNI-PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE: This year is the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of Tri-State College. It is fitting that WC PHUSC in the huffiffd H1511 of lifei' to PHY ffibllfe to the institution that held and still' holds its door ajar so that the worthy and willing student may enter. The history of Tri-State is replete with achievements of men in public life, prominent in industry, in learning, and in business who subscribe allegiance to the Alumni of a great institution with pride. As we retrospect we are made to wonder what dreams and aspirations inspired the founders when they dared to invest their time and efforts in an Institution of Learning in a veritable wilderness. It is not presumptuous to imagine that they were beset with trials, vexations and elements of uncertainty. But their faith and convictions prevailed to a point where, in their lifetime, they witnessed some of the fruits of their efforts and counted as compensation the success of men and women in every walk of life who, having passed under the guidance of a dedicated faculty, now smile with gratitude and thankful- ness for having passed this way. Those who have spent time and effort on the campus in pursuit of a common goal know what it means to feel the companionship and friendliness of others. This feeling is borne of hard work where the foundation for the future is laid. This attitude is carried on into his life's work where he converts his dream to the common service of mankind. Yes-this is a rich heritage. Achievement in college is not an end in itself but a means to an end. By well-rounded living as a student he attains something new from each thing he does that will complete the final measure of his efforts. We, of the Board of Trustees, have a strong conviction and a deep faith that the Tri-State student of today measures up to the high stand- ards set by the founders and maintained by succeeding executives and faculty, and that he will continue their quest for the better and finer things of lifex. What does the future hold? When we attempt, in a humble way, to try to visualize the future for Tri-State, we envision a bright diadem in the galaxy of schools to which we can point with pride and satisfaction. There is now on the trestle board a plan for expanded facilities on the campus that will tax the best efforts of every loyal Alumnus and friend. The dreams of the founding fathers will be surpassed as mounting thousands of students seek the portals of the Open Door. May we look forward with faith to the culmination of an achievement worthy of high purpose and hard work to the benefit of all who share our interest. Sincerely, 69200 Perry .
