AN EXPRESSION OF THANKS
TO BULLETIN
"I am in receipt of your July-August
number of the Bulletin, and thank you for
the notice given me in same.
I also received a copy of your May-
June issue, some time in July, with notice
of my candidacy therein, and assure you
that I appreciate this courtesy also.
I visited your office some time early
in July at which time I was extended a
very courteous and friendly reception by
the lady in the office- whose name I can-
not recall-and enjoyed reviewing with
her the history of the college, its presi-
dents and my brief early experiences
there.
I have always valued the training,
ideals and the experiences which result-
ed from my brief two years stay in Sim-
mons and always enjoy meeting old Sim-
mons friends. I shall in the future take
advantage of such opportunities for re-
newing Simmons contacts.
Again thanking you for the courtesies
extended to me in your two recent issues,
I am,
Sincerely yours,
E. J. Miller.
