IN TRIBUTE E all knew Carl Lomb, the man whose memory we honor here. I am unable to comment with full justice upon his achievements in the industrial world, upon the fact that he achieved his position of leadership through hard and diligent application, but I do want to say just a few words about him as a person and about the work that he did in education. The personal and educational ideals of Carl Lomb reflected a clear-cut understanding of the basic issues of life. They reflected the application of fundamental principles to new situations in a way that was almost stark in its simplicity. He believed that intelligence and industry should be applied to the day's work and that excellence should be pursued in every task. He believed that no man could perform all the tasks of citizenship unless he were a productive worker in the social structure. It is upon this premise that the work of the Institute is based. He was a modest man, and frequently made the comment that no matter how much a man has done he should never boast. He lived modestly and without ostentation and his many benefactions will never be fully known. His contributions of time, energy, and leadership were legion. Both individ- uals and institutions benefited by his gifts and were guided by his helping hand. His very nature typified the strong and rugged characteristics of the early settlers who made America what it is today. He had a quality of per- sistence that would not tolerate defeat if his intellect told him that the goal was worth achieving. Carl Lomb has wrought his own everlasting memorial in the hearts and memories of his friends. He has left the indelible imprint of his personality and leadership upon the lives of countless men and women-old and young. Through the institutions, the industries and the civic organizations that were privileged to know his leadership, his vision and ideals march triumphantly on. WM '

PP1ESIDENT'S MESSAGE HIS is an appropriate occasion for me to review for all Institute students and graduates the basic principle that the Institute is committed to a policy of continued counseling for all its students and graduates. The counselors of the various departments stand ready to help with respect to problems of employment, problems of personal growth or advancement, or any other problem which confronts you. While it is expected that contacts with those who have completed the formal portion of their education will be somewhat fewer than with those who are regularly attending classes, we look forward to maintaining cordial relations with all of those men and Women who have been associated with us. The problems of life are sufficiently complex that, if one is to grow and advance intellectually and economically, one must continue studying current problems. In your attack upon these personal and professional problems the Institute counselors are always ready to help. Sincerely yours , WM i .180
