J or frnm tl c Alumiti D SBB HE relation between the student liody and the Aknnni of a college should be a strong and vital one. In this kinship the welfare and betterment of the nistitution must always be paramount. The students should find in the Alumni ideals to be attained, while the gradu- ates look to the students for the upholding and surpassing of traditions. Always closest co-operation is imperative, and if this is maintained, each finds a perfect complement in the other. L. B. Broughton. C5 giB HE future of any institution depends upon the success of its Alumni. The success of the Alumni is dependent upon the success of the students. A good student makes a good Alumnus. A good Alumnus is one who glorifies the ' nstitution he represents by first making a record in his chosen field, and second, by remembering his Alma Mater and taking a real interest in the development of the institution and the work of the students in every field of their endeavor. T. B. Symons. H m OOK UP, O ALUAINI ! Let your lights shine among men ! Let them ever symbolize the spiritual glory of dear Alma ALiter, and let them daily remind us of the source of our highest inspiration and of our lasting obligation to service in her behalf. F. B. BOMBERGER, ' 94. C sm HE Alumni should ever be willing and anxious to keep in close touch with the undergraduate body, and give to those younger sons of their Alma Mater the full benefit of their experiences since they withdrew from the College as regular students. W. M. HiLLEGEisT, ' 12. C5 SDZI HE attitude of the Alumni toward the student body should always be solici- tous and friendly. The Alumni should visit their Alma Mater whenever pos- sible, and ought to be welcomed cordially and fraternally by the student body. .[t is to the Alumni in the capacity of the big brother to whom the graduates have to look, in a large measure, for help and encouragement at the commencement of life ' s big tasks. H. B. HOSH.VLL. i(jo8. X N my opinion, the Alumni should act as big brothers to the boys in school. J They should keep in closer contact with the working of their Alma Mater, and thus help the worthy student in his mo.st vital problem after graduation — the securing of a position. M. A. PvLE, 1919.

pinrb from tl]C JMinititt O gjp HE Alumni nf an institution, being all sons of the same mother, should, from an idealistic viewpoint, necessarily make up one large, useful and ever- increasing family, and should be synonymous with Brotherhood. Upon this theory of family the Alumni constitute the older members, while the student body represents the younger brothers. In this spirit of brotherhood the student should feel free to go to the Alumnus for succor and advice, and the Alumnus should be found ready to extend a helping hand to aid his younger brother in securing a foothold in life and in the laying of a foundation upon which he can build a career which will redound to his credit and success, the pride of the Association and the glory of his Alma Mater. R. Laurie Mitchell, ' 02. g S to the relations which should exist between the Alumni Association and the student body. 1 am of the opinion that the relations should be close, friendly and fraternal. Geo. H. Calvert, Jr., ' 92. o BIB HE problem of the student is the problem of the Alumnus; the problem of the Alumnus is the future problem of the student. The College must be de- pended upon to help solve the problems of both, and it follows, therefore, that the interests of the Alumnus, student and College are almost so closely bound together as to be one and the same ; the unswerving loyalty of one to the others is essential to the paramount success of all. H. C. Byrd, ' 08. CARCELY an thing means more for a college than a large and enthusiastic body of Alumni who make it their business to get behind every prog ressive move in the life and extended usefulness of the institution, thereby aiding their younger brothers — for that is what they are — who are striving to attain the position that these older brothers now hold. Henry Holzapfel, Jr. ILOSE and active relations between the Alumni Association and the student body is, in the end, the greatest and most substantial assurance the College has of a progressive and growing future. William P. Cole. Jr., 1910. 1L( )SER co-operation between the Alumni and the student body is essential. Today the old grad feels lost when he comes back on Saturday afternoon and finds that all the old Profs that he knew have gone home for the day. It is the student ' s business to look after that Alumnus. You will find the latch- string out at the office of that Alumnus for every M. S. C. man thereafter, and he will b e anxious to help the new graduate. E. N. Cory. Fourleen
