PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Mr Going. Members of tiii Facclty, ssociates of tiie Senior Class, Friends: Today with these exercises, we are passing a very important milestone on the road to our education. This is a time when wc like to pause and lock hack upon our experiences as friends together at Phillips: it is a time when we must look forward. In looking back we sec that the things which once seemed as mountains of difficulty now look like tiny molehills. There are many of us who remember the moment of decision on the football field when the game depended on immediate action. Others of us will think of the knee-shaking experiences on the Auditorium stage, and all of us will recall the recent and not soon to he forgone 1 ordeals of the final examinations. It is easy in retrospect to smile at the difficulties which we have passed, hut as wc face the future we find ourselves confronted by new difficulties which remind us of the need and value of ottr Class Motto, “Mens acqua in arduis,” “A mind calm in difficulties.” As I look from you. fellow students, to the leaders of the future, I see among you such inventors as Marconi and Edison, who used their talents for the benefit of humanity; such a poet as Burns who. wc learned, had a patriotism founded on something better than prejudice; and such statesmen as Lincoln and Wilson, who saw war with imagination and sought for the sources of peace. If we expect to attain such heights wc must keep our minds calm under difficulties. This is a most unusual time. As Glenn Frank expresses it. “new forces are making this at once a time of threatening insecurity and exciting promise. The challenge is not that of a gloomy world but that of a difficult one. Facing this difficult world, we need calmness. What is calmness? Calmness means patience, the willingness to wait and to understand, but it docs not mean inactivity. Calmness means moral discipline. Wc cannot remain calm unless we banish hate. envy, revenge, and even fear trom our hearts, for. as Virgil says, “Fear shows a degenerate mind. Calmness means mastery—a mastery of ourselves, and a clear understanding cf the world in which wc are to play a part. In mastering ottr selves we will give ourselves faith. We must have faith in ourselves and in O'.ir country. The future wc face is. as I have aid. most unusual. Many of us will not have available the money necessary to continue our formal education, tier shall we easily obtain the job to which we have locked forward ever since entering High School. But ii we keep our minds calm under these difficulties, this period of waiting need not he a period of yawning. Hawthorne spent twelve solitary years in preparing for hi- great work, and Milton gave a quarter of a century toward the creation of his masterpiece. I.ike these two famous men wc can use this waiting period in an active way. Fields cf work arc over-crowded, that is true, but there is always room ior the superior workman: wc can become experts in our line by reading and practicing during our leisure. Wc may even try our skill at writing, for who knows but there are some among us who are fitted for journalistic werk? Think of the cxicting premise of leading public opinion during a period of readjustment! Ho not fancy that this oeriod cf thinking and reading will not be of licnefit. To quote Joy Elmer Morgan. “Behind everything wonderful there are long periods of concentration. The bridge that spans the river, the building that rises in lovely majesty, and the sturdy airplane that sweeps the skies, all have lack of them endless plans anil blueprints.”
