ACTING PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE To the Students of the State College Past ani Present. Greetings: Ir is most fir ring: that the Montanan should, year l»y year, emphasize some particular purpose or object. Very appropriate it is, that a college publication should make leadership its slogan. Leaders are horn not made. Leadership is built on honesty, ability, initiative, confidence in self, and a measure of aggressiveness, or a determination to keep working at the job. To a large extent it is this group among the young people of the country who decide to go to college. Many do not fill the requirements and fall by the way. Many manifest their leadership through association with their fellows in college. Others, developing more slowly, make their place later in lift . However, it is largely those who persist to the end of their college course, that we depend upon to take the lead in the social, business, industrial and professional life of the State and Nation. College is but a preparation, an aid towards more efficient work. Attainment is the result of continued hard, persistent endeavor, thoroughly and skillfully performed. For most of ns this is the task of a life time. ’I e not weary in well doing.
