WITTENBERG WELCOMES FRESHMEF VOL. 39 Special Freshman Edition NUMBER 1 trance — Prexy Greets Frosh To all new Wittenbergers, greetingsl Nobody on the campus says welcome so often as I. Be- cause of all the word means, I enjoy the privilege. Most of all, however, I rejoico to greet our new stu- dents each year and to tell then how glad Wittenberg is to have then as aembers of our family. For that's what we are on the Wittenberg campus—a great fanily. That word say6 auch of our Joy in living and working together, of our concern for each other, of our sharing the privileges of this great school with each other. It speaks much, too, of the basic friend- liness of our campus and our eagerness that each new person shall feel at hone inmediately. It says soae- thing about our being brothers, one to another, because we are children of God. To this, then, I welcome you. May your four years here be full of such good things that you will look back upon then as among the most wonderful years of your whole life. Sincerely, Clarence C. Stoughton President HELP!!
