The Centennial Students’ Association and 102nd Student Senate would like to congratulate Southern Methodist University for its world-changing achievements. Today we commemorate 100 years of a consistent impetus to improve and a steadfast drive that will continue into the second century.

Each and every one of you is a contributing member to the Students’ Association, and your student body will be known as the Centennial for generations to come. Take pride in our school and the progress is has made throughout the past 100 years — just think about how much more is to come.

Take this week to celebrate Homecoming and take advantage of the multitude of Centennial activities! Consider what we are celebrating this week, and take a moment to acknowledge the history of the past 100 years that has shaped SMU as an institution and student body.

Change is inevitable, and SMU’s drive for excellence has brought about a unique type of change; one that brings improvement and innovation to our campus, to the city of Dallas and to the world.

Put on your red and blue to celebrate this week along the members of the SMU community returning to the Hilltop, as well as with the fellow members of the 100th Students’ Association. And last, but certainly not least, Happy Birthday SMU! May the next 100 years be as prolific as the last.

As always, Pony Up!

Carlton A. Adams, Centennial Student Body President
