I am confident that your contribution to the post-war world will be equally as significant as that of the men and women who preceded you. A sound and good education is the firm basis for a fruitful life, It provides the mainspring for all those things for which we strive. The challenge of the peace we hope will soon arrive is more inspiring than the challenge of today. Equipped with the education you will receive here, you can go forth into the new world confident that with your ability and goodwill you will solve successfully the difficult problems which will confront us all. .07777Wf Dean DEAN JOHN T.
