To Simmons Students Everywhere
I take this occasion to salute you from the "old
school" and, at the same time, express the hope that your
Alma Mater may challenge each of you to your highest,
your noblest, and your best.
The world war, and the chaotic conditions incident
thereto, have placed upon you and the College new opportunities
for service such as have never come to institutions
and patriotic citizenry in the history of the world.
Simmons' men and women, trained in ideals peculiar to
the "Simmons' atmosphere" will not fail in constructive
and patriotic service to their country and Alma Mater
in these times fraught with such momentus consequence.
I am particularly grateful that, despite the times
through which we are passing, there have been found
friends of large vision and Christian ambition to serve,
who have not overlooked your Alma Mater; and as a
result of their devotion to the principles inculcated here,
the management has been able to provide for the increased
growth of the institution, thus meeting in a large
way this unparalleled challenge.
If you will but continue your steadfast devotion to
the College, it will continue to broaden its scope of usefulness
and grow in its constructive worth-whileness to
men and women, until future generations cannot but rise
up and call blessed everyone who has proved instrumental
in its enlargement and progress.
