T he following paragraph was included in the letter: "You ought to be here to see all the old bunch. You ought to know M. A. C. as she is today. You ought to know about the big movement under way to put M. A. C. over the top with 3000 students. It would inspire you to see the old campus It would delight you in its June splendor. to see the new buildings and stadium.
