Alumni Day which reassembles the scattered flock under the spread wing of the common parent can not be ignored or even lightly considered by us, but on the contrary we recognize it as a day con- secrated to the reunion of men who yearn for V. M. I. ' s prosperity and leave undone nothing that tends to promote her interests. Not only do these gatherings amalgamate and strengthen frater- nitism between Alumni, but those who graduate each year are inspired by their presence, identified and commingled with them thus aug- menting and strengthening the interests of all. We hope to see a larger reunion of Alumni this year than has been heretofore our pleasure to witness. Alumni Dav, Wednesday, June 21st. 24

(umtti iB Q. AMONG the celebrations of our Commencement week there is none due more notice in the pages of our Annual than the dav set apart for the assembly of the Alumni. Acknowledging their strong attachment to the Institute together with their sympathy and enthusiastic interest manifested for her maintenance and con- tinuation of usefulness in training young men of our great country to be good and honorable citizens, it becomes us as members of the grad- uating class to cordially welcome them and express in courteous terms our appreciation of their presence in our midst, and to exert every effort in making their stay most pleasant and agreeable. When we consider that the greatness of an institution of learning is but the greatness of her sons, demonstrated in service rendered mankind not only through thought and eloquence in peace ' s tran- quillity, but also by devotedness equally unshaken in times of deadly conflict, — not only strong amid the dazzling brilliance of a diplomatic crowd, but fearless and powerful before thickening masses of con- tending armies and smoke of musketry, — we are more and more deeply impressed with the sublimity of Virginia Military Institute, and with recognition of regard for her Alumni who have so nobly wrought her tame and glorious immortality. Alrginia Military Institute can well boast of her eminence. Her record in the past established by heroism of her sons is an imperishable spotless monument, fashioned and built not suddenly by the magic chisel of an accomplished artist to guard the memory of some potentate but her fair fame arose magnificent from the valor of those who fell in defence of the flag, and continues to endure by the life and virtue of those who survive ; warriors, statesmen, citizens. 23
