“The game of last Saturday with Colby will go down in my memory as one of the outstanding contests played by a Maine team. I have never seen a better example of ‘Maine spirit’, clean playing, and determination to win. That we lost is no disgrace. Everyone who saw the game should be proud of the team and of the fact that even against heavy odds every moment was full of fight and aggressiveness.” This message was sent to the student body by President Boardman en route to Chicago and the Pacific Coast. Presi­ dent Boardman was authorized by unanimous vote of the Board of Trustees to make this 6000 mile coast-to-coast trip for the purpose of carrying the spirit and news of the Univer­ sity to the Alumni Associations of the middle west and Pacific coast and to bring back to the campus the spirit of the far west­ ern alumni associations. This is one more bit of evidence of the University’s interest in her former students. The Univer­ sity family will be bound together by closer ties as a result of Prexy’s long journey.
