A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT To The Owl, 1946 You ask for a Greeting. In answer, at first it seemed that Hello, if said just right, would be Greeting enough. Any more might spoil it. And now, after thinking for a while, Hello still seems enough. But because I must write the word rather than say it a bit of explanation may be needed. My Hello means that I like you and am dead-pleased if you like me. It means all hail goodwill and kindness to you. It means that you and I are trying to keep all the nobility in us up on top and it means that we are glad in such a way of doing. Hello—and as we say to one another Hello, I hope that at no place on earth can there be more meaning packed into a word. John G. Bowman President of the University Dr. Bowman congratulate degree receivers. Dr. Bowman and colloaguos at Commencement. 11
