THREE GOOD LETTERS.
The Editor of The Alumnus has recently received a number of good
letters from alumni and old students. These letters refiect a new spirit
among our alumni and are so reviving to the Editor that they are published
below with the hope that they will affect others in a similar manner.
The following letter is from Charles R. Brock, ’90, one of the “old ·
guard" whose success in life has been largely due to that same loyalty to his

Every true and loyal alumnus of the State University must recognize

for the amount which you suggest. I shall always be pleased to hear from
you when there is anything which you think I should do to promote the
interests of the University. _
\\’ith best wishes for the success of your laudable eftorts.
There are hundreds of old students who are rendering a service to their
community, county and state because of the inspiration and equipment re-
ceived at the University. None are more appreciative and cognizant of what
the University has done for them than ]. R. Vinson, “Blind 'I`om," as he
was called by his closest and intimate friends. His letter tells us of his loy- ’
alty and devotion to the University and future plans to help win the Southern
football championship and make the engineering tield more eliicient. Mr.
Vinson is a banker at Cadiz, Kentucky.
