PRESIDENT SEYMOUR o one can define Yale and it is very difhcult to describe her. The outward Yale that nu see and in which you work and play is only partg yet it is much more than a mere shell lclosing the inner Yale, it is necessary as giving ngible form and expression to a spiritual sence. It was thus that St. Augustine thought 'the Church. We must be grateful therefore to the BANNER hich gives far broader service than providing mere catalogue of persons, places, and activi- :s. By its picture of the Yale scene in its varied pects, it sets forth the life of the students as idergraduate members of the Yale family. Its 'inted pages furnish symbols of the expression 'Yale spirit. What is in the hearts and minds 'Yale men cannot be set forth. But the inter- 'etation of the spirit appears in these symbols id will be recognized at once by -every Yale an. As you leave Yale and join the family -of umni you yourselves will be the interpreters of ale to the outside world. When in the future mu turn over the pages of the BANNER, they will rve as 'fstimulants to rerniniscencef' renew the es binding you to the Yale of the past, holding Jur interest in the Yale of the future. These ages portray a life that goes on from generation v generation, from which has sprung the in- ience of Yale and nourished loyalty upon the The President's Message part of her alumni. Upon that loyalty we who serve the University in New Haven must de- pend. Of far greater importance than the material support of the alumni is their active understanding of Yale and their interest in Yale whether critical or appreciative. Faculty, stu- dents, alumni, all three are merged in the University family, responding to the outward symbols of Yale life, held together by the inner spirit.
