It will be the work of the Bureau to make them acquainted with the new conditions which will exist here, and help them to get a good and prompt start at rebuilding...

Create good fellowship among yourselves and do not lay too much emphasis upon making a "club". The latter now belongs in a sphere entirely outside of the life of a first year man. True success is a life well lived and tasks well done.
