NOVEMBER 1970 President's Message

The Alumni Association strives to stay in tune with Bridgewater College, _supporting her in many ways. We have organized for this current year to accomplish big things for our Alma Mater. The acceptance, by many people, of jobs requiring responsibility and time gives the Executive Committee a greater assurance that we will accomplish more.

Homecoming 1970 proved to those persons enjoying the campus again that "There is a place for us," this year's theme. The day was filled with opportunity and fun as many of us returned to renew friendships and acquaintances. The award of a "most valuable player" trophy helped to strengthen the alumni-student relationship.

We are seeking a stronger Bridgewater by requesting that Alumni share the names of persons who may become students when given an invitation. You have already received our mailing.

It would be a big help to learn of your wishes for our association. Are we overlooking opportunities? Let us hear about those concerns of yours.

Dr. William L. Mengebier, professor of biology at Bridgewater, holds a B.5. degree from The Citadel, M.A. from Oberlin, and Ph.D. in physiology from the University of Tennessee. A member of the faculty since 1968, he received an award from the Associa­ tion of Southeastern Biologists for "especially meri­ torious teaching" last year. He has had articles published in the American Journal of Physiology, the Virginia Journal of Science, Comparative Biochem­ istry and Physiology, and others.

He has also had articles published in the Georgia Law Review, the Georgia State Bar Journal and the NYU Law Review. Dr. and Mrs. Bowman have three children.
