Gleaner 10201: :oi 2010101011 3024 14v:n1o1o2n:o1u2 In 101014 ioiogoioioie 1011 Valedictory R. CHAIRMAN, Members of the Board, and Faculty, Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Students: The young man now going out into the agricultural world faces conditions widely different from those of a few years ago. The economic situation is the most optimistic in the history of agriculture. Credit conditions have vastly improved and people engaged in industry, commerce and finance are showing an increasing willingness and desire to help bring about a more favorable adjustment for the farmer. Their attitude has changed from that of a benevolent paternalism, to a growing realization of the importance and the immensity of the agricultural industry. The business world is now becoming more and more cognizant of the fact that the farmer himself must carry all the risks of weather, of flood and drought, of insect pests, and animal and plant diseases. It is into this atmosphere we young men are about to emerge and begin our life's work. Three short years ago we entered these halls with a vague idea as to what we were about to undertake. Obstacles and hardships rose up in our paths and the weaker ones were forced to withdraw. But gradu- ally each problem was coped with and overcome and today we are well versed in the new and progressive ideas in agriculture. which enables us to become producers or to assume the responsibilities of farm managers. To our beloved founder, the late Rev. Dr. Joseph Krauskopf, mere words cannot fully express the profound reverence and deep gratitude that we hold for him. It is through his wonderful foresight, untiring efforts and whole-hearted munificence that this school was made possible. Members of the Board and Faculty. If today we go out from these halls with lofty conceptions of the World's needs and of our duty to assist in supplying them, the credit belongs to you. You have not only taught us a proper attitude toward life, but have at the same time inspired and encouraged us by word and deed. Wherever we may cast our lots we shall always be mindful of your vast influence on our lives. Classmates! The hour has struck. The time for parting has arrived. Though We must separate, let us not part in spirit. Let us often think of those Farm School days and while we step out into a larger life, let us not hold fast to what we have gained, but utilize the advantages that have been ours. Let us catch a vision of what is expected of us and then fulfill our tasks to the best of our ability. Let us conscientiously put forth our best effort and leave behind us a record our Alma Mater can be proud of. To you all our beloved friends and schoolmates, the class of nine- teen hundred and twenty-five bids a last farewell, with our best wishes for the future, and sincere regret that our Farm School days are gone forever. Farewell, Leon R. Blumberg '25 minima:-rg ri-io: 1: 1010: ri vi ni 111111411141 vioxx: ri ri ri ri rioivioioioic P A G E Sl X
