Presidenfs essage In the past year we have witnessed a reawakening of Illini spirit. Through the medium of the University of Illinois Foundation, alumni in all sections of the country have reaffirmed their faith in Illinois Loyalty. To my mind, Illini Spirit and Loyalty is one of the University's greatest assets, and perhaps it is so close to some of us that its potentialities have not always been fully appreciated. Wfherever I have met with Illini, I have found a deep and abiding faith in Illinois which I assure you is priceless to one in my position. No group of citizens is more interested in the progress and welfare of a college or university than its alumni. Time and again in the history of our colleges and universities this interest has developed into a lifelong contact be- tween alumni and alma mater with results mutually stimulating and beneficial. Those of you who are now members of the student body will one day join that band of alumni. May your experiences here have been so enriching that, whether inspired by a sense of loyalty, pride, or obligation, you will wish to repay in some measure by your contribution to Illini Spirit and Loyalty.
