with Eastern's history and the his-

Charleston has asked Dr. Glenn H.
Seymour to draw up a list of his-

June 4 Beckons Commencement--Alumni Speaker

This year Alumni Day and Commencement Roe Bartle
will coincide. You as an alumnus are invited to
spend the day Friday, June 4, on the campus.
You will see the multitude of changes that have
come over it as Eastern prepares for a new era;
you will visit with old friends on the faculty, you
will eat lunch in the new cafeteria "Wood Shed";
and you will hear one of the best professional
speakers in the country.

One of the chief reasons for combining com-
mencement and alumni activities was to make it
possible for former students to hear Roe Bartle,
a public speaker in constant demand at national
conventions, educational associations, industrial
groups-all of whom have nothing but good
things to say about him.

For 16 years national president of Alpha
Phi Omega, national service fraternity found on
over a hundred college and university campuses,
the speaker will be doubly appreciated at Eastern
because of the fine record established by the
local chapter of the fraternity in the 16 months
of its existence here.

Roe · Bartle's achievements in other fields
than public speaking are too numerous to men-
tion. Suffice it to say that you will enjoy your
day on the campus June 4 largely because of him.

And partly because of the traditional ball
game between faculty and alumni. See it at
two o'clock in the afternoon on the new baseball
diamond at the south end of Seventh street.

During that twenty year period he
