Excerpt from Lehigh Alumni Bulletin, Vol. 5 They require sentiment and idealism as well as dollars and cents for their proper nourishment and growth. Our homes, our churches and our college are what we are fighting for. Freedom of life, of religion, of education. Everything must subordinate itself to winning of the war, but it will do no good to win It if we destroy In the winning what we are fighting to save. "We are fighting so that the next generation may have peace." Very well. Then don't let us forget to educate the next generation so they may be able to enjoy the blessings of peace. Shoot straight and think straight. Straight thinking will show you that you cannot afford to neglect this college of YOURS, and that if you do neglect it there is no one to take your place and do your duty. Lehigh, with a thousand supporters, may nourish, but not the same degree that she would If three thousand men have her interests at heart. It is a matter of simple arithmetic. You don't need your Calculus. Don't worry about what some one else is doing to aid Lehigh, except to ask the question, "Does he have to carry my share of the load or am I lifting my weight?" Alumni Day Program The reason for fixing on April 13. for Alumni Day, was that the Faculty had decided to graduate the Senior Class In April and finish the work of the three other classes about May 15. Therefore Alumni Day was set to coincide with Commencement. On Saturday, April 13. at 10 a.m., the Commencement exercises will be held In the Chapel, and immediately following this the Annual Alumni Meeting will be held, also in the Chapel. Then we will adjourn to the Commons where the usual Alumni Day Luncheon will be served by the University, a program of speeches and songs will follow, and then, led by the Bethlehem Steel Company Band, we will parade by classes to Taylor Field, where a championship Lacrosse game between Swathmore and Lehigh is to be played. The Reunion Classes are urged to have banners to which the classes can rally and the men from the non-reunion classes will join in one body as the "Class of '66." Class Reunions Under the Dix "Group Reunion" Plan, adopted by the Alumni Association last June, the Reunion Classes designated to compete for the Cup are 1869. 1870, 1871-1887, 1888, 1889, 1890-1906, 1907, 1908, 1909-and 1916. Any other classes who would, under the old plan for reunions, have been due for one this year can also compete If they notify the Alumni Secretary of their desire to do so. 1878 is planing to hold a 40-year Reunion and compete for the cup, and perhaps 1883, 1893, 1898, 1903, and 1913 may decide to do likewise. The total number of all men registered under any class (not graduates only) constitutes that class, and the proportion of these In attendance on Alumni Day fixes the percentage that the Class Secretary certifies to and hands la to the Chairman of the Reunion Cup Committee. Walton Forstall. Reunion of the Class of '60 At the Bethlehem Club, on Friday night, April 12, the great arid glorious Class of '66, consisting of members of all non-reunion classes (and their friends), will hold a reunion. Try to get here on time for this function for It surely will be worth attending. There will be no special arrangements except that tho privileges of the Club will be extended to all Lehigh men on that night. Room* and Meals The Alumni Secretary will make arrangements for the accommodation of all returning Alumni who write to him stating their requirements. It w ill be possible to take care of a number in the dormitories, and the Gymnasium will be fitted out with cots and blankets. Think of getting up in the morning and having a swim in the pool before breakfast. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of
