ATHLETIC FIELD ENTRANCE

BULLETIN

LYCOMING COLLEGE. WILLIAMSPORT, PENNA.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS:

This issue of the Bulletin is intended particularly to call your at- tention to the big event of the Winter, the Greater Lycoming Banquet. The date this year is February 24. Please marke this date in your cal- endar and plan now to return for the da\ . A special program of visita- tion and inspection of the campus and buildings is planned for the after- noon. \\"c are attempting to secure a speaker of national note for the banquet in the evening. Things are happening rapidly here at the Col- lege and we are happy to have our Alumni show their interest and pride by visiting us as often as possible.

This issue also carries an announcement which is a substantial proof of the interest of our Alumni in the College. Thirty-seven young people are here as students who come from the homes of Alumni. Many others are here because they have been directed here by friends. A typical letter received recently from a friend of the College who is not an alumnus says, among other things, "You may rest assured as the opportunity presents itself, I shall continue to direct other young men to Lycoming."

Your attention is called again to two items of particular importance to the future success of the College — students and finances.

STL'DI.NTS — With the enrollment of veterans growing smaller their place must be taken by others. You can tell your friends about Lycoming with pride. Our educational program is varied and modern, our faculty is strong, our facilities getting better all the time. We can accommodate 8 00 comfortably and adequately. Rich Hall is the latest word in convenience and gracious living for college women. This num- ber will enable us to operate within our budget. At the same time it will make it possible to maintain the personal touch — which is one of the advantages of the small college — and provide a full program of in- terests and activities which will make the college experience rich, mean- ingful and of lasting benefit.

FINANCES — The College has recently received an annuity of S2 5,000, several memorial endowment gifts and at least three wills have come to my attention from which the College will benefit substantialh/. Surely there are many others among our 5,000 Alumni and host of friends who are able to do something of this kind. Write me of your interest and let me tell you of the many ways by which you can endow a lasting memorial to yourself or some loved one.

Yours in the interest of Lycoming, John W. Long, President

Former Faculty

Member Receives New Appointment

Dr. James Morgan Read, in- structor of German and history at the College from 1932 to 1934, has been appointed director of the division of educational and cultural relations for the high commissioner of Germany. For the past several years Dr. Read has been affiliated with the American Friends Service Committee and spent part of his time in Germany directing relief and rehabilitation activities. In making the appointment, Ralph Nicholson, director of public af- fairs in the high commissioner's of- fice, said, "We think Dr Read is one of the best qualified men in the United States for the position. He has many essential qualities which make him eminently fitted for the job: Fluency in the Ger- man language, knowledge of the German scene, a deep sense of mis- sion and demonstrated administra- tive ability."

S-P-0-R-T-L-I-G-H-T
