DEAN WILSON'S MESSAGE Men of '39—Comrades All: Greetings and farewell. No paeans to blazon forth your day of triumph. No sorrow songs recounting days of bitter struggle and nights of darksome agony. At noontide or in the stillness of the night, your hands have found commerce with things your hearts have most desired. Whether pursuing the course on man's dull groping toward the Highest Good or searching for the mysteries incased within electrons or simple cells, from dawn to dusk your minds have trafficked with all things to which you were alive. There is no turning back, nor can your deepest wishings recapture for you even the faintest fragment of all that filled your yesteryears. Whatever was admitted into the hours of bygone days and nights has made of you the greater or the lesser man. Pause now in this brief hour, as one, who moving toward his star, stands still to check his course and gain new strength for plodding still more difficult. Hail, then, this day as a time of arriving and departing. If, into this moment of recollection, you bring strong minds, clear eyes, and hearts that know no fainting—well done. Take leave of these protecting walls. Face forward from the disturbing beauty of woods and hills, of winter's quiet snows, and springtime's verdant ecstasy. Between the eternities of all our yesterdays and all our tomorrows, we stand, reverent and thoughtful. Pledge again your deepest loyalty to the best that these years have revealed to you and within you. Down through the years into the greater life you go. For those, who now declare their purpose to advance into this large sphere, life hath decreed that weaklings perish and men of indecision have no voice. Your Friend and Fellow-Traveler. 10 FRANK THEODORE WILSON.
