To qualify foi entrance to Denison in- dicates a high level oi previous achievement. We welcome you, therefore, for what you have done and for what you are. We welcome you also because of our high hope that having begun well, you will continue to achieve distinction. To quote an ancient friend of man, "He not weary in well doing!" We wel- come you to all the factors in our community life which will contribute to the development of your best and largest self. We assume that in coming to this school, you are ready to become a helpful member of our co-operative community, made up of students, faculty, administrative officers and citizens of Granvillc. You stand at the open door of a great opportunity, a real land of promise. What you may win from it depends almost wholly on yourself. If your attitude is one of "getting by", with the least effort and co-operation, then it is not worth while to start. We believe, however, that you will come all the way in at the beginning, and will be constantly asking "How can I make the most of these opportunities?" With that at- titude you will find everyone ready to help you gain the Utmost i I the riches waiting for you here. A. A. SHAW, President. Board of Trustees OFFICERS or THE HOARD DAVID E. GREEN.
