OAe VMAickjni HUGH POTTER BAKER D.Oec, LL.D. Massachusetts State College may be thought of as a family of four persons liv- ing together in the closest relationship. We may think of these four persons as the student body, the Alumni body, the Fac- ulty and the Administration. Mutual respect, mutual friendliness, and mutual interest are the factors which make these four groups function success- fully as a family. Four groups with their eyes fixed on a common goal — the con- tinued success of the College — cannot fail of accomplishment. [19]
