A generation ago when this country faced in1111inent war involvement the watchword was national preparedness. 'l'o- day it is national defense. Ill your Univer- sity training you are girding yourselves i11 the way of personal defense, and the Slllll total of such preparedness is what gives us lJl'lll121l'y confidence i11 :XlI1Cl'lC21yS fllllll'C. The mounting stre11gth of this nation, for whatever eventuality, will be measured 1101. so much in 111ere arn1a111ent, however i111- portant that may be for the innnediate future, but more largely in the total capac- ity of the oncoming ge11eratio11 to meet any exigencies that 111ay confront the country. John Miltonls dehnition of education is as cogent now as it was three centuries ago: I consider a complete and generous edu- cation that which Hts a 111an to perform justly, skillfully and niagnanimously all I0 the olhces, both public and private, of peace and war. kKJv'v-un-uw.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN Y message this year is addressed par- ticularly to the Seniors who will soon leave the University with all that the school can give. Q This sad old world of ours is now full of suiiering and travail. It is go- ing through another ol' the recurring pangs and purgings which you have read about in history. Have faith i11 the outcome, have faith most ol' all i11 yourselves, despite tl1e temptation to submit to discouragement, depression Zlllll dismay. o There is work to be done and thank Cod for your capacity to do your share ol' ill .XII that you require is to have faith i11 the power to do that share and the will and purpose to put that faith to the test. You will need a strong will to endure, a stronger will not to do the agreeable thing il. you should 11ot do it, and the strongest will to do the disagree- able thing if you should do it. 0 It is a serious responsibility to be an alumnus of the School ol' Commerce. Accounts. and Finance because you 1m1st measure up to the record of your predecessors and be al- ways upon your mettle to set standards lor those who are to follow. How can this re- sponsibility best be discharged? My answer is by being ellicient in getting your work done but at the same time by developing your character and the quality of your life so that they may stand out and excel even the best and II1OSl ellicient work you shall do.
