COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE WEST CHESTER, PENNSYLVANIA To Members of the Graduating Class Still o ' er these scenes my memory wakes. A recent letter from a graduate of our school em- phasizes the truth of the well-chosen theme of your book. After forty-eight years, the writer returned from California to help celebrate the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the founding of the Normal School. He was thrilled to meet some of his former teachers and to join in a reunion with fifteen of his classmates. He offered to add to West Chester ' s Treasures the autograph of Queen Liliukalani, former queen of Hawaii, which was obtained during his senior class trip to Washington, D. C. The autograph was gratefully ac- cepted and added to the Filipino Collection in the Library. In exchange, according to his request a small piece of greenstone chipped from Old Main was sent him. Still o ' er these scenes the memory of G. Arthur Eowler, Class of 1898, wakes and fondly broods with miser care. Pleasant memories of college scenes and associa- tions keep alive the true loyalty and sincere devotion of the thousands of our graduates. Many come back to the campus yearly to pledge anew their allegiance and to renew their inspiration. It is my hope that members of the Class of 1947 will preserve in the treasure-house of mind the memory of many happy, pleasant, and successful experiences enjoyed during their years at West Chester State. Cordially yours, CHARLES S. SWOPE President 16
