Marguerite Kehr Dean uj It omen W. E. Landis Dean of Men THE DEANS To THE Class of 1947: Since you have chosen the profession of teaching, you will have the oppor- tunity and the ohligation to do much to help make real the peaceful, stable world for which we all hope.

To Class of 1947: Once again the forces of construc- tive activity are engaged in salvaging a world ravaged by the forces of de- struction. Many of you have seen the tragic results of these destructive forces in foreign countries, while all of us have felt their impact. When one realizes that all destructive action is preceded by faulty ihiiiking. the true value of education becomes apparent. It has been a genuine pleasure for me to work with you during the past year in our efforts to make a small contri- bution to the constructive agencies of the world. W. E. Landis, Dean of Men 16

THOMAS P. NORTH Dean of Inslnirtion To THE Members of the Class of 1947: You are about to enter a profession at a time when civilization is challenged with the proposition of closing the gap between the physical and the social sciences. In this process, the solution of such major problems as ju enile delinquency, race preju- dice, and industrial maladjustments will result to no little extent from the efforts of intelligent teachers, teachers fearful of God. and saturated with a love for their fellow men. You are to be congratulated on having the privilege of serving at a time which later may be known as the era of the social sciences. Finally, I should have you aim high, be not content with your ability, and guard against the current spirit of materialism. Dean of Instruction 15
