Excerpt from The Alumnae News, Vol. 24: November, 1935 Miss Petty, Dr. Gove, and Mr. R. D. Douglas were the other speakers. Dr. Graham, Dr. Foust, Dr. Jackson, members of the 1935-36 Faculty and Students, I bring you most cordial greetings from the Alumnae. Our secretary sometimes reminds us that the sun never sets upon the alumnae Of this College. My reply is, Fine; then at least some of us' are wide awake all the time! And we are watching you with the same joy and pride with which a young grandmother watches her first grandchild. We are wishing for each of you happiness and success in your Chosen course. We know that you will do much to make the dream of the Founder of this great institution come true in a larger and finer way. I count this one of the great moments of my life - to be privileged even to at tempt to pay tribute to a man whom I consider one of the greatest of the great. Perhaps I can best give the student viewpoint of those early years by relat ing some of my own experiences and reactions while a student here.
