DR. S. A. WATSON Dear Friends: How fine it is to be a member of a college like William Penn. Every college founded by a church has a vital purpose of being and each one has a special or unique purpose because of its relationship to a certain church and a certain community. We all feel that Penn is real specialg in fact we know it is! That is because it was established by a group of people who had great dreams of what youth would accomplish if they had good educational opportuni- ties under Christian teachers. Friends have always stood for education as a part of religion. Oskaloosa and Mahaska County have loyally supported the efforts of their Quaker citizens. Penn is also the college of the community. As time went on the graduates and former students became a very important third group of people interested in the college program. Always this group has included outstanding leaders in various fields of service. In a very real sense they are the products of their Alma Mater the proof of the Penn program. So today and always Penn is a college of achieving, where ideals and effort result in progress and service. It is wonderful to belong to such a college with you, my college friends. Sincerely, K1-ia Zfzw Dr. S. A. Watson President Wm. Penn College 3
