GREETINGS
From the Preaident

One of the pleasant duties of my

r

,

~

office is to welcome students to our
campus and to extend them greetings
and best wishes for a successful and
profitable year.
This duty, however;
is more than a routine
one, even
though after five years of service as
President, it may be difficult to express my feelings in words that are
different.
As we enter upon the 79th year of
service by this old, but young-in-spirit, College, we could easily take an
account of stock, and point
with
pride and hope to the future.
Tp
the students who are returning
from
vacation, this may be an old story,
but to our newcomers, a short stay
will be necessary to learn and to get
into the Edinboro spirit.
If our new
friends look about them and take advantage of the opportunities
and facilities around them, their adventure

on our Campus will be a happy one.

From the Dean of Men
As a new--comer to Edinboro State
Teachers College I, like you, am
anxious to become better acquainted
with the fine traditions and lofty
ideals of this institution.
The standards ~f this college, with nearly
eighty years of existence, are such
that we should ever strive to uphold
the old and to set new and still higher ones.
College is a place for personal
growth, not only mentally and physically, but socially.
Here we should
learn "the give and take" of life,
whether it be on the athletic field,
on the campus, or in the classroom..
Life here will be far more worthwhile if we are happy.
However,
those who seek happiness may never
i.
l

find it, while those who live each minute, each hour, each day, each month,

and each year to the fullest
will always be happy.

'To live most and to serve best"
should be our motto.
May I wish
you health, happiness, and oppor-

From the Dean of Women

It is with a great deal of anticipation that I am entering my Alma
Mater as its Dean of Women.
Years
of associ~tion with Edinboro as a
student ma;4e me deeply appreciative
of the spirit of intimacy and friendliness for which it is known; as a member of the faculty I shall endeavor to
carryon
.this tradition.
My work involves assisting you in
your individual
problems, helping
you to derive maximum benefits from
your college experience, and furthering the interests of group living.
It
is, indeed, a task of sympathetic
understanding and mutual confidence.

In the final analysis, the services I
can render to you as students are determined by you. As you avail yourselves of the opportunities
of this
personnel service and cooperate in
its functioning,
so will you and Edinboro grow.

From the Dept. of Physical
Education
At Edinboro we invite you to jC?in
a well-rounded program of athletIcs
for your recreation.
We hope to
carryon
competitive
sports, which
will include ~ouch football,
soccer,
tennis, volley ball, mush ball, and,
with our new gymnasium, swimming.
This should offer. every ma~. in cC?llege an opporturn~y to partIcIpate m
some. form of enJoyable phYSICal recreatIon.

Edinboro realizes the importance
of inter-coUegiate
athletics,
but it
also knows the excellent value and
vital need of properly
supervised
physical education for everyone.

Its character depends upon the

The object of the association is

The numerous teas given throughout the year tend to develop the purely social side of the organization.

Do not watch it
only for your own name, but for the
names of your friends, for the organization meetings, and for the social schedule. We feel that there is
no way to keep up with the college
activities except by watching the official bulletin.
Every student should
examine the bulletin in front of the
President's office in Normal Hall at
least once a day. In Loveland Hall,
art students should read the bulletin
just inside the second set of double
doors in the main entrance.
A bulletin board is found in each dormitory.

The night- watchman is a regular State employee, sworn in as
a police officer with campus
duties similar to such an officer's. He is not only a custodian of state and college
property, but an officer of the
