U51 rnrvna i the publicity of your activities as well as those of the col lege to which we are eligible will be of incalculable value. Hopefully yours, Irene Larzelere Schouton Dear Alumnae: v The inspiration of our alumnaez now bravely shoulclering the serious responsibilities of life, is the spirit ever moving us to carry on. Your traditions, so carefully fostered in the younger clays of our college, we honor and observe as but a partial attainment of the college spirit you so early developed. Even more potent is your interest in The Cloisterf' our latest literary venture. Each literary contribution and additional subscrip- tion to our monthly, we cherish as one more link in the bond which draws our big sisters back to their Alma Mater ancl back to us. May our book bring back to you memories of your own college days and record Rochestefs Hclelity to the traditions of her alumnae. Sincerely, The Class of l922 l I3 l

On such occasions it is gratifying to have a Croceus at hand. It has never as yet disappointed us. From its pages we have observed that all of the worth-while traditions of our Anderson Hall days have been perpetuated and many new ones inaugurated. We, the alumnae, are gratefully appreciative of the fact that the continually growing student body is contributing in increasing measure to the development of the ideal college. In our alumnae organization we lack the unity of purpose and daily association that stimulated our activities when we were working together. We are looking forward with great expectation to the time when the classes of 1921 and '22 shall join our ranks with the fervent hope that in spite of our scattered homes and diverging interests they may make us a more coherent and useful group of womeng an organization that will be a help and inspiration to you who are struggling with real problems as well as enjoying the pleasures of college life. The Cloisterf promises to be another delightful medium of exchange. It is difficult to predict just what our part in it shall be. At least we shall be a sympathetic audience. Without doubt, we shall profit by your idealism and spontaneous enthusiasm in desiring to bring 'isweetness and lighti' to the whole world. While the paper may not seduce many of us to leave our homes in order that we may become literary stars of the first magnitude, E171
