PRINTED IN U.S.A. THE GRAND PRESIDENT'S PAGE • EuGENE D. MILE ER, Johns Hopkins Grand President of Delta Sigma Pi As WE COME to the close of another college year I wish to take this opportunity of extending to our many graduating seniors my heartiest congratulations. You have just .concluded four years of college representing one of the most impressionable periods in your entire life. I trust that the friendships made through Delta Sigma Pi will continue throughout the years and become more treasured and valuable with each succeeding year. You are now equipped to go forth and battle this business world of ours, and I am confident that each and every one of you will receive your full share of success and happiness and that you will be a credit to your alma mater, your fraternity, and to those near and dear to you. While your graduation may seem to terminate your active participation in fraternity affairs I hope it simply means the transfer of your activity and interests from the under­ graduate field to the alumni. After all you are an undergraduate for but four years, while you are an alumnus for a mighty long time. For most of our members, graduation means simply the enlargement of their field of fraternal operation. I urge that each of you give full appreciation to the extent and scope of our alumni activities and place yourself in position to take full advantage of same.
