TO THE SENIORS: I wish to congratulate this class on its initiative in starting an independent senior book and to thank you for your courtesy in asking me to say a few words at this time, preceding your graduation from Brooklyn Technical High School. Many of you are thinking about getting a job. I have just read a chapter written by Dr. Charles F. Kettering, President of the General Motors Research Corporation, concerning his group of men. Dr. Kettering writes: Now if you have chosen wisely and mastered your school work, you finally arrive at a job—your first job, perhaps. I have always told my gang that I didn ' t want any fellow who had a job working for me, but I did want some fellow whom the job had. In other words, I want the job to get the fellow and not the fellow to get the job. Of course, a man should always be larger than his job. Such a man would never consider his job beneath him. His wider mental hori¬ zon and sympathies would make him realize that any honest work well done would fit into the general scheme of things and be of service to the world. You will be fortunate, however, to find the work that will so interest you that it will take hold of you and cause you to develop larger and larger capacities. Many people at the present time believe that industrial conditions through which we have been flounder¬ ing for the past few years are going to improve in the near future, and that the opportunity for serious workers in the field of applied science will be all that it has ever been. In closing I would like to call your attention to the statement made by a prominent railroad president in addressing a group of college boys. He said: Never forget, young people, that when you have learned enough to be able to handle my job, and the jobs of my contemporaries, I and they will have been taken out of your path, and the jobs will be waiting for you. Time is working steadily on your side.
