"H Good Thing." 



At last, after years of good hard work on the part of the Alumni As- 

 sociation and with the assistance of the many friends we have made, the 

 Pre-requisite Clause has been adopted by the N. Y. S. P. A. and by doing 

 so the wisdom of the members was shown by their vote, which was 

 unanimous for the measure. 



True, it is not to take efifect until 1905 but that will surely suit us, so 

 long as we have the assurance that it will be enacted. 



This action proves conclusively what concerted action on the part of the 

 Alumni of the College will have as its result. 



Conceived in the minds of a few graduates way back in the eighties it 

 took material shape at the Manhattan Beach meeting in 1897 where it 

 was tabled in short order ; at the Albany meeting it was lost by a few 

 votes, and this year at Newburgh it went through without a hitch. 



Much credit is due to our many friends who, while they are them- 

 selves non-graduates, nevertheless saw the justice and expediency of the 

 measure. President Muensch is to be congratulated in having come out 

 flat-footed in its favor when making his annual report. 



Our brother collegians are also to be thanked Tor their allegiance to the 

 cause and for their stand in the matter. 



For all this we are thankful and again we say " stick by your Associa- 

 tion boys and bring your wrongs to its meetings so that they can be 

 righted, if such be possible."
