(Greeting from 71 AT the gracious invitation of the Index, the Class of 1871, the pioneer class - in the honorable procession of nearly three score classes, once more makes its bow to the undergraduates of M. A. C. and congratulates them on the splendid heritage into which they have come. To few men is granted the privilege en- joyed by the living men of ' 71 to have been part of, and watched over, as brothers, the growth of the now great family, each member of which has enjoyed the nurture of four years under the Maroon and White. The twenty-eight men, who fifty-nine years ago received their diplomas from the hand of President W. S. Clark, learned the topography of Amherst and the Connecticut Valley largely on foot and not by the automobile; nor could they listen in to King George before breakfast as we did this morning; but they did have a personal intimacy with Clark, Stockbridge, Goodell, and Goessman under circumstances hardly possible to the student of today. Result: a loyal band that, though dwindled from twenty-eight to seven, plus a few loyal non-graduates, hopes to be with you at Amherst in June to celebrate their six- teenth reunion on their fifty-ninth anniversary. In these days when the value of college training is so often challenged let us remember that four years spent in studious effort under guidance of men of the type of our best teachers makes for a life comradeship and an inspiration to a life of useful service found nowhere else. Long live the high standards and ideals of M. A. C. E. E. THOMPSON, For the Class of ' 71. la 31 18
