THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON lFrom the Address of President Hoover before a Joint Session of the Congress, opening the celebration of the Bicentennial of the Birth of George Washington, February 22, 1952.3 It is not necessary for me to attempt a eulogy of George Washington. That has been done by masters of art and poetry during more than a hundred years. To what they have said I attempt to make no addition. The true eulogy of Washington is this mighty Nation. He contributed more to its origins than any other man. The influence of his character and of his accomplishments has contributed to the building of human freedom and ordered liberty, not alone upon this continent but upon all continents. The part which he played in the creation of our institutions has brought daily harvest of happiness to hundreds of millions of humanity. The inspirations from his genius have lifted the vision of succeeding generations. The definitions of those policies in government which he fathered have stood the test of 150 years of strain and stress. X

j i ff TO THE CLASS OF 1932: Four years have passed since I met with you as a ninth grade. It seems a long time but, in reality how short it has been! Now, however, you stand at the entrance of a new and different life. Some of you will continue in institutions of higher learning, some will enter positions in industry, while others will follow various callings and professions. Whichever way you choose to go, it is my earnest hope that the future will be kind to you, that you will use some of the many principles you have been taught to help you attain your ambitions, and that your school will he proud to say that you are one of her graduates. My relationship with you as your class adviser has been most pleasant. You have worked earnestly and with that great spirit which makes our school outstanding to such an unusual degree. If you show the same degree of cooperation in your future pursuits as you have shown as a class I am sure that each of you will achieve success. May the high aims which belong to our school: scholarship, character, leadership and service, continue to be your ideals. Sincerely, WMM Www 1,1 I . 1 f flfut LAY QQ, V 1 s 5
