'ro the Graduates and Former Students of Michigan State College?

We are glad of this opportunity to send greetings to all graduates and former students of Michigan State College. We always like to think of you as a part of the great insti­ tutional family realizing that mutual interests necessitate the maintenance of strong bonds of friendship and a spirit of cordial cooperation. The members of our large Staff are all striving earnestly to do their very best for M. S. C* The administrative forces of the State, the State Board of Agriculture, the legislature and the citizens of the State are manisfesting an unusually kindly interest in the institu­ tion and are lending hearty and generous support. The stu­ dent body is responding splendidly to the appeal for the observance and attainment of higher standards soholastically, socially, morally and spiritually so that M.-S. C» may become the safest and best place in the world for parents to send their sons and daughters for an education. The magnificent chimes tower with the striking of its clock and the ringing of its bells has already become one potent source of inspira­ tion on the Campus constantly reminding all to strive for the attainments of those standards heretofore mentioned for which the institution is to stand in a markedly characteristic way. The friendship, support and cooperation of all graduates and former students is greatly desired by the administration and staff of the institution.

Sincerely,

President

A group of songs by our own Mary Allen Phillips, '09, of' New York City, was the first thing that would quiet the celebrants. The applause which fol­ lowed each group resounded loud and long among the Demonstration hali rafters.

President Shaw Speaks Pinchhitting for the regular speaker who was taken ill, President Shaw in his usual characteristic manner took the entire group into his confidence and gave what he called "his annual report." He stated that during the past year the finances of the college had been advanced to a sound condition. For the next school year, already an­ nounced publicly, additions are to be made to the faculty personnel in the way of men of truly impressive scho­ lastic attainment. His talk filled the hearts of alumni and guests with pride and happiness over the accomplish­ ments that had been made during the past year.

Can you swing maybe a hundred dollars more on your down-payment—and shoulder perhaps three additional payments? « That actually is all you have to consider in order to own a Reo Flying Cloud. But that, however, is not the whole story. By the end of the third year, with a Reo, you will have saved in repairs alone far more than your added investment—and you will have a fourth, fifth, sixth year and even more of really outsanding service to look forward to. -:- -:- Reos are built the way only the finest cars are built—to last. And people who know motor cars will tell you that for long life, performance and mechanical dependability a Reo is to be compared only with cars in the highest price-brackets . . . Besides, wouldn't you rather drive a care that hasn't an obvious price tag attached to it? Look around, of course—but be sure to look in at your Reo dealer's. Now you can have a Reo Flying Cloud at a lower price than ever before. REO MOTOR CAR CO. - LANSING, MICHIGAN
