ITOjll 9 JUMBO 1 1931 RLtL JOHN ALBERT COUSENS A.B., LL.D. John Albert Cousens, our President and our Exemplar. A man of keen business sense and of deep and genuine sympathy and kindness. Practical and at the same time friendly. Laboring ceaselessly for us as he works for the good name of our Alma Mater. Our benefactor and the deserving recipient of our esteem and affection. The President ' s Message To the Editors of the 1931 Jumbo Book.: Permit me to speak a word of appreciation and commendation of the work in which you are engaged. The publication of the book you are preparing will be of real service to the college. Although, of course, I am unaware of the material you will use, I speak with confidence because a standard has been set for you in other years. Your book will be of special interest and consequence to members of the senior class but no undergraduate can afford to be without a copy. Among my own most precious possessions are the Annuals—they were not called Jumbo Books then—which were published here during my own student days. The full set of student year books which are preserved in the College Library form a very important part of the historical record of the College. They serve in a definite and peculiar way to register the pro¬ gress of the College. Your book will find a worthy place among them. For a number of years past our J umbo Book has contained the picture of at least one new building— the latest evidence of our material prosperity. Last spring as 1 viewed the present year in prospect, I thought with regret that a break would come in a building program which I had prophesied was to be continuous, but Theta Delta Chi, cooperating with the College, came to the rescue and I presume a picture of their fine new fraternity house will adorn the pages of the Jumbo Book of’31. Perhaps you will think it appropriate to include the architects’ sketch of the first unit of the new Physical Education Plant. I suggest the architects’ drawings because, though construction ought to be under way as early as the middle of April, there will be little to show of the actual work by the time you have to go to the printers. The year of which your pages will be in part a chronicle has not passed without its measure of sad¬ ness. Professor Fay and Professor Lambert have gone from us. Their lives were so interwoven with the life of the College, they were so long, so definitely a part of what Tufts College has been, they live in what the College is and will live in what the College is to be, but their helpful, kindly presence is sorely missed. Very truly yours, John A. Cousens, President 18
