Dear Members of the Class or- 1928: It is hardly necessary to remind you. who have but now-completed your several courses, that College Years are blessed, golden years. Spent as they are amid surroundings that stress the finer things of life—companionship, intellectual endeavor, unfolding of personalities, spiritual growth, and social aspiration—they bring to maturity what you and your fellows will. In very truth They are your Alma Mater. Cherishing Them and Her. you can shed some rays of golden light by reflection at least, upon the lives of the countless many w ho have not know n and w ho never w ill know the quiet and the rich luxury of College Years. But you can transmit to them something of Their spell and charm if you will but regard it a privilege to share your best as only the truly educated and cultured can share w ith others those gifts w hich they have made their own. Again, in honor of Alma Mater, you can fire the youth of America with a determination to achieve College years and Alma Mater, too. These are the high hopes Wisconsin has of you. For these purposes Wisconsin has striven to create out of her wealth that living something—a Spirit or a Soul—which wealth can never buy—College Years and Alma Mater. I know you will fulfill Wisconsin's highest hopes, and match Wisconsin's earnest faith in you. Thus will you best honor Alma Mater. Thus will Your College Years live Immortal.

Home Economics Our Home Economics department is one of the best organized departments of its kind in the state. It confers not only a diploma for a three year course, but also a B. E. degree for a new course of four years. Many of our old graduates have returned for their fourth year of work which will enable them to obtain a degree; and many new students have enrolled in this course. The greater part of the upbuilding and success of our department we owe to the efficient leadership of Miss Allen, our director and friend. She is well fitted for her position both by her education and experience. To her we owe many of our ideals and standards for our work. Home Economics is one of the broadest fields of education open to the girl today. It is a comparatively new vocation, but in our school we have a well rounded course which aims to train students to become efficient Home Economics teachers.
