This means the close of another college year. As I look back over the year I hardly know how to describe it. We have had no crises, we have had no spectacular or startling advances. We have, therefore, nothing very unusual to report at Commencement except to say that we have had a good year and that we are making satisfactory progress. The coming of Rev. Lawrence W. Lykens as Assistant to the President is meaning a great deal to us and will mean more as he gets to know you better and becomes more familiar with the possi bilities of his position, particularly in the field of student recruit-ment and alumni relations. Of course, his success will depend very largely upon your re-sponse and he and I are both gratified at the generous response he is receiving. We are glad to report a slight gain in the enrollment this year. We are happy about this because for the last three years the trend has been downward. Now we feel that trend is checked and we may begin to welcome an ever larger student body. Again I { want to thank you for your part in this. A very large number of | our students come to us from the homes of Alumni and through \ your recommendations to your friends. \ A much larger number of classes than usual are planning re- { unions this year. My secrctar)-. Miss Gorgas, has had a great deal * ' of fun in promoting these reunions and I have kept in touch with their progress through her. I shall look forward with the greatest pleasure to seeing you and greeting you at Commencement and par-ticularly Alumni Day, Saturday, June 6. Cordially and sincerely yours, JOHN W. LONG, President
