UNIVERSITY of IOWA W. D. LOVELL, B.S. ' 91 Minneapolis, Minn. President University of Iowa Alumni Association It has been well said that from the same materials one man builds palaces, another hovels; one a warehouse; another a useless villa. The University of Iowa taught us to use our life materials for building our characters into structures of efficiency, not uselessness. Our Alma Mater has helped us over the block of granite which is an obstacle in the path of the weak and uneducated; she has made it a step- ping stone in the pathway of the resolute, trained mind. Alumni and former students- may we continue to appreciate this service as in the past. May we never cease to love and honor our Alma Mater as she loves and honors us.

UNIVERSITY of IOWA GREETINGS FROM THE NORTHWEST It is a pleasure to represent the Iowa University women of this Northwest country in sending sincere and cordial greetings to all alumnae through the pages of the 1914 Hawkeye. Though so many alumnae have found their way to this western coast, distance has served to strengthen their loyalty to Iowa, and in the bond of fidelity to Alma Mater the girl of ' 68 and the girl of 1912 meet on a common ground of friendship.. And it is for the purpose of strengthening the friendships thus formed as well as to keep in closer touch with the life of one ' s university, that the Seattle alumnae propose to form, this spring, a University of Iowa Alumnae Club, which will somewhat supplement the general alumni organiz- ation alreadv formed. Sincerely yours, Edith Ball Macbride. L. A. 1908., Seattle. Washington. GREETINGS FROM NORTHEAST Since I passed its portals, The Door That ' s Always Open has beckoned alluringly to me. Notwithstanding the limitations and privations of its pioneer days, the splendid energy and prescience of those who conceived and wrought its upbuilding live today in the indelible impress left upon the minds of their students. The seeds were well sown, fundamental scientific principles well taught, but over and above all a stimulus was imparted that has kept the fires of scientific advancement alight. Personally it has made a life devoted to science and humanity possible without tarnishing its organic joy. From an active life in the great Metropolis, horizoned only by achievement, it is in a congratulatory spirit therefore that I greet my former fellow students, the alumnae of the University of Iowa, my Alma Mater. Margaret A. Cleaves, M.D.. ' 73. The Sydenham, New York City, N. Y. GREETINGS FROM THE SOUTHWEST I sho ' would admire to send greeting from my new home in the Sunshine-land to my far-off friends in blizzard-stricken Middle West, but if they-alls is frizz, as the papers unani- mously declare, wot good will this note of commiseration do? Even if they thaw out and regain an interest in life i and letters from me ' how can I express my sympathy in the limit set upon this? A hundred words! Just enough for a preamble. The S. U. I. tree was a great magnet, at the Iowa Picnic in Los Angeles, March 1. Generations of students met there. AH of us are in love with the region that combines a rich, semi-tropical climate with close proximity to the mountains and the sea. Roses and strawberries the year round; orange trees in fruit and flower; garden vegetables practically continuous in one s own yard if desired: boulevards better than most city pavements form- ing a network of thoroughfares connecting the towns and country places these are among the charms of Los Angeles County. Very cordially yours, Julia Ellen Rogers. B.Ph., ' 92. Long Beach, California. GREETINGS FROM THE SOUTHEAST The Great Peninsula beloved of the Ocean, the Gulf and the Sky, gladly sends greetings to the children of the dear old S. U. I. With the deepening of the meaning of life, and the broadening of the views of what may be achieved for the uplift of the world, the years have seemed only too short. But the life that now is, being only the promise of the larger and fuller life, with endless vigor and perfect environment this thought glad- dens all the pathways we are treading. Very sincerely, Abi L. Preston Nutting, H.M.D., ' 85. Auburndale. Florida. 27
