Dear Guild Member: This year, in the interest of economy and ef ficiency, it was decided that we would not send the customary letter appealing for names of prospective students. It is our hope that you will have become accustomed to telling us not only the names and addresses of young people in your acquaintance to whom we should send literature, but also that you will realize the importance of including specialized informa tion on the outstanding qualities and interests which these students possess. You will probab ly agree that on occasion a letter lends itself better to the inclusion of this type of informa tion. Will you, therefore, please be good enough to complete and return the enclosed coupon to the office of Student Services. You may be sure that each suggestion you give us will be considered carefully and that each prospect will receive appropriate literature. Josephine Ferguson (Mrs. B.) Director of Student Services
