’08-Thanks for your nice letter, Philip Morgan.
Sorry I did not get to talk with you when you were
here on May 13 for your grandson’s graduation. We
are happy to have Joe Harold Morgan, Jr. as an

larger than the ceremonies of the year 1908 in June,
when we had about 45 and a student body of 310, all
male. Considerable changes have occurred during
these 71 years, have been a member of the alumni
over 50 years and marveled at its growth.” Come
again soon, Mr. Morgan. We are always happy to see
you, and very proud of one of our oldest living alum
ni.
