It is hoped lliat the push of the past, the drive of the ])resent, and the pull of the future w ill enable each of you to nio e on to )dur proi)er place in the wurld of education. H.iiRVKY . . AnDRI ' SS Dean of I iisfniclioii To the Seniors of 1939- This country is suffering from a spirit of defeatism, pessimism, and fatalism which is quite contrary to the ideal of American education. A question frequently asked in these times is, What can America do in the future for its youth? A more appropriate question is, What can (iuth do in the future for America? What the future yields for you as col- lege graduates in the form of oppor- tunities for service to society will de- pend largely upon what you have in store for the future. If you continue to grow in the spirit of old Blooms- hurg as you have during the last four years, there will be a place for you in the afTairs of the world. I wish you the best of good fortune. ' erv sincerely yours, Ii, RL N. RlIODlLS Director of Teacher Training 24
