To THE SENIORS2 In recent years, graduates of this school have been offered a bewildering multiplicity of opportunities for employment. At times we have had to design methods to prevent employers from competing for the services of these young men. The members of the present class, however, are likely to meet a decidedly changed condition. The passage of legislation authorizing the induction of young men of eighteen into the military services has altered the picture completely. While a few will find employment in industry. and while some will continue their training in higher technical schools, most of you will be in military service shortly after graduation. There is evident, a growing feeling of personal interest in and responsibility for the winning of this war. I know that most of you have considered how your recently acquired knowledge and skills, can be utilized to render the most valuable service to your country. The training that you have received, has been proved a splendid preparation for peaceful pursuits in the modern technical world. You will find that it is equally valuable as a preparation for citizenship in a democracy at war. The confidence in the value of your training will give you an opportunity to con- sider other items of equal importance. First-Learn the true meaning of service. The character and nature of your train- ing present unlimited opportunities for unselfish service. Here lies the greatest satisfaction in life. Second-Strive to build your ideals on a foundation of truth and logic, not on hearsay and prejudice. In this terrible conflict in which we are engaged, it is vitally important that you hold fast to properly established ideals. Third-Develop the power to think straight and to make sound judgments. Beware of sweeping generalizations. You have been taught to analyze your problems and to arrive at conclusions that are consistent with the facts. Apply these procedures not only to material things but to human relations. Fourth-Keep yourself physically fit. You will need a well disciplined mind and a well disciplined body. With your training and with an earnest attempt to attain these objectives, you will be equipped for leadership in the new world for which we are fighting. To each of you I say that both in the fight for victory and in the peace that will follow, we expect your part to be an honorable one. With best wishes and Godspeed, Sincerely.
