crJevoted to GJormer Students

Extracts from letters on file

"I wish to express my sincere appreClatlOn
and thanks for your assistance in school and
in helping me obtain my position."-Mable
Caruthers, Assistant Secretary Emporia Cham-
ber of Commerce.
"I often think of my valuable days tha t I
spent in the Emporia Business College. I
learned more in a year and a half in the Busi-
ness College than I did in all of my other
school days."-Eva Specht, Secretary, Red Star
Milling Company, Emporia.

"You are conducting one highly moral, ele-

vating institution and you cannot help ad-
vancing."-Mason McCarty, Eckdall & Me-
Carty Bookstore, Emporia.
"I can cheerfully and honestly recommend
your training, especially at this time, as the
officers are all very well known to me as gen-
tlemen of ability and character." -Walter C.
Steward, Auditor, Sears-Roebuck & Co., Min-
neapolis, Minn.
"I wish to take this opportunity to thank
you, for a very pleasant evening spent at your
50th Anniversary Program and Banquet.
also wish to congratulate you on the apparent
feeling of harmony and good will existing
between your management and the student
body. The feeling of co-operation was plainly
in evidence throughout the program and this
cannot help but prove a valuable asset both to
the students who are trying to make the best
of the time they have to spend in school and
the faculty members who are doing their best
to help these same students to be the success
they hope to be."-Mrs. Hazel Parkinson
Schultz, Class of 1911-12.
"When I read your letter concerning the
Halloween party I wished over and over again
that 1 was still attending Business College so
it would be possible for me to be there. 1
knew from being present at past events what
it meant-an evening of splendid entertain-
ment."-Anna Ames, Stenographer, K. E. P.
Co., Madison.
"I consider my business college course my
most highly prized asset."-Marvin L. Bald-
win, Manager Rent-A-Car, Emporia.
I
"1 see that your school is following the same
solid, sensible course in business instruction,
which impressed me as a student. The value
of the special training given in your various
courses is, of course, more fully appreciated by
those former students who, like myself, have
built their present business careers upon the in-
formation and guidance received, to such a
large extent, from this practical, specialized
training."-Wm. J. Hinchman, Staff Specialist,
American Telephone & Telegraph Co., New
York City.
