HIS MESSAGE At the end of a tortuous, difficult period of study and reflection, the open pathways of the world stand before .you. The practical beginnings of a constructive life of purpose are already in the process of germination. The realism of doing things and the possibility of achieving objectives are clearly and definitely discernible. To build a career of service, success, and happiness, both in the interest of society at large and self, becomes a paramount ambition. Whatever you do, do well. Always justify the faith of society in your integrity by constantly striving to improve the social and economic order. Try to .leave upon the plastic minds of youth imprints of genuine idealism. Develop higher and better standards of performance in every task to which your efforts are committed. Be kind, sympathetic, and understanding. In espousing a worthy cause, never compromise. Stand for principle, honor, and service. Remember that setbacks in the search for truth will be temporary and that right ultimately prevails. Your Alma Mater believes in you. Justify that trust by good deeds and successful achievement. My best wishes are wholeheartedly extended to each and every member of the graduating class. Joseph F. Noonan President — Carontawan 17

Youth faces a future of uncertainty and of compara- tive insecurity. Social and economic readjustments make it difficult to foresee the direction and degree of change, and the nature of the preparation that will be adequate. Two things seem certain. 1. they will succeed who have courage to adventure into the unknown; and, 2. if we have the courage to reorder our economic life so that machines shall be our servants and not our masters, the future will require men and women of culture, of brain rather than brawn. For young people of vision and courage a college course of the right kind will be indispensable. There never can be too much education if it is of the right kind. Here- in lies the challenge of the present crisis. Isaac Doughton. The aim of Mansfield State Teachers College is to ed- ucate its students to become trained teachers. It is proud of its past record. Its graduates have gone out not only as teachers but as better citizens and as citizens better ad- justed to the world than when they entered college. At this time when one considers and envisages the World of Tomorrow and its progress in education as well as in other respects, it is hoped that all students will come to Mansfield with the firm resolve to do their very best work. The realization of the main purpose of the college course on the part of the students combined with the co- operation of the faculty should enable Mansfield to occupy an even more prominent place in our educational system. Paul J. Steele Dean of Men TO THE SENIORS OF THE CLASS OF 1939 Mansfield State Teachers College extends its best wishes to you. It hopes time will prove your life here for four years has brought you experience enough to make you competent, learning enough to make you humble, friendship enough to make your hearts large and warm, culture enough to teach you the refinement of simplicity, and wisdom enough to show you great and small in their true relation. It hopes that through its activities you have learned a way to live with people artistically, a way to meet the demands of your profession constructively, and a way to participate in a democratic society effectively.
