...training, the stage which, once, reached, should forbid our wasting time any further. It is not enough, then, for an institution to offer a good system of preparation. Out of fairness to both students and professors a better means should be contrived of revealing the opportunities that lie behind a prosaic statement in the catalogue...

As a class they will deserve every bit of recognition and encouragement which the College and its members can give them. In their hands will lie an important element of the future. It is for everybody to help them realize this fact, and to speed them on their difficult way. The Alumni Bulletin...
