Vol. 21 NOVEMBER, 1939 No.2 The President's Page

It is difficult to keep one's mind from Homecoming Day. The schedule of events, published elsewhere in this Bulletin, will indicate that it will be a gala affair. The Board of Trustees has authorized the dedication of our two new buildings on that day. A number of the alumni have seen them from time to time in the process of erection. Their hearts will be warmed with pride as they see them in their completed form. You are urged to make reservations for the dinner since we anticipate a capacity attendance. We do not plan a program at the dinner, but we do expect to have a number of guests of honor present. Governor and Mrs. O'Conor will honor us with attendance at the Homecoming Game on Hoffa Field in the afternoon. The new buildings will be open for inspection immediately following the game. All in all we anticipate a day which will be memorable for all of us. I look forward enthusiastically to greeting you on this occasion. WESTERN !I'!ARYLAND COLLEGE nUr.JLE'I'lN

No.5

February,

1940 ullis 2«1101111 is devoted to the publication of a new set of photo- graphs of the college buildings. It is addressed to both the alumni and friends of the college as well as prospective students. The cover page gives a picture of the Ward Memorial Arch and the footpath leading to the college campus. The buildings pictured in this bulletin are arranged in their order of location on the campus • as approached from West Main Street.

We hope that this publication will prove interesting to friends of the college as well as to those who have never visited its campus. We invite prospective students to take note of the announcement given on the last page, inviting them to visit the campus on May eleventh. Later the college will publish a book of views of student activities .
