POSTSCRIPT

There emanates from Purdue’s campus a constant current of interest and friendly regard for those who, having sojourned here for a time, have gone out from among us to make their way in the world. We are proud of their successes, sympathetic in their reverses, and, in return, look for their loyalty to Purdue’s high aims and purposes....In whatever form this loyalty may find expression, it is most welcome only so that it be genuine—springing from the heart of the sons and daughters of the university.

Realize the importance of keeping in touch with the university; come back often to the old scenes; renew old friendships; keep up membership in the alumni association; keep your statistical records up to date; and cherish always a loving interest in your alma mater.
