' A OUR ALUMNI Washington and Jefferson is proud ot' her Alllllllll. More than five thousand strong they are to be found, scattered over all parts ol' the world. We find them in South America, in Africa, in India, in China, in Japan, and in war-stricken Europe, besides finding them in all parts ot' our own United States. ' We are proud of our Alumni because they are contributing their part to the world in a way that reflects great credit upon the institution. We are proud to know that our Alumni are instrumental in the development of China, that the man who holds the key to the heart of Africa is a Washington-Jelfersonian3 that the pioneer of missions in South America was a Wash-Jeff , man, and that India and Japan have felt the influence of our Alumni. In our own country our Alumni have achieved even more than they have in these other fields of activity. We find them in the halls of Con- gress, as Governors ol' states, as Judges, Surgeons, Theologians, Chemists, Teachers, Businessmen, and what not? Each one of these professions have leaders who are NVashington and Jefferson men. To discuss fully the achievements ol' our Alumni in any one ol' these professions would mean volumes, but let us take a glance at them in the one realm of education. Washington and Jefferson has produced eighty-three presidents of colleges and universities among them our own P1'esident Emeritus James D. Moffat, Chancellor McCormick of the University of Pittsburgh, and Jolm Marquis of Coe College, Iowa. 'When we look at the three leading Seminaries of the United States we find that the faculty of each of them has a Washington and Jefferson alumnus connected with it. The President of Princeton Seminary belongs to the class of 1886 of this college. To be found on our own faculty are several Alumni who have been called back to their Alma Mater after having achieved success in some other field of labor. And so we might continue to enlarge on the place of our Alumni in the realm of education. But let us ask ourselves the secret of the success of these men. Back of it all is the spirit of old Wash-Jeff, the spirit that grew here and that every Freslnnan feels the first morning he attends chapel, the spirit that grows with him until he becomes an alumnus and gives this spirit to the world. This is the thing that binds our Alma Mater to her sons, her sons to our Alma Mater, and both in turn to the betterment of the world. , 23
