Excerpt from The Ohio State University Monthly, 1921, Vol. 13 (Classic Reprint)
The Alumni Association is an organization to jog your memories and to provide the stimulus for your interest in the current events. Let us not acquire the habit of a long perspective in looking back upon the University and its career. Every now and then someone says, well, I haven't been back to the University since I graduated. Then he promptly computes the time to be six, eight or ten years, or perhaps even longer. There are the best reasons why many cannot return annually, but I have not yet discovered any good reason why the mind should not turn to the University and the heart long for a glimpse at the familiar scenes. I am confident that if you had the genuine desire to return and the abiding interest in the welfare of the University, some of these years see you revisiting the scenes of your college days.
