2 ecun MARY HELEN MARKS, A. M. Someone has said that the greatest happiness comes to the one who thinks the most interesting thoughts. If this is a good definition, and I think it is, you are all being exposed to the opportunity of achieving happiness. There is noth- ing better that I can wish for each one of you than that you will acquire the habit of filling your minds with interesting thoughts while you are in college and that the sort of happiness implicit in this definition will be yours in full measure. No misfortune, however great, can take it from you permanently, and all life will be enriched for you if you make this definition a part of your design for living ' .

P veAdAe HERBERT LINCOLN SPENCER, Ph. D. TO THE CLASSES OF 1938 and 1939: As you look back over your college years, there is a question you should ask yourself: has college created in you a desire for life-long intellectual activity? If your answer is ' No ' , college has been a failure for you. If college has been for you merely a place to make what the business world calls ' contacts ' ; if its social significance has been greater than its intellectual; if the prime business of concentrated thinking has been in the least incidental to the other concerns of campus activities, then your college years have sadly ' missed fire. ' But if, on the other hand, college has awakened you to undreamed-of vistas, and has set your mind in a motion that will be perpetual so far as you are concerned, the years have been well-spent. If yout soul has been sensitized to the beauties of the world around you, and through this world you have been led to a deeper appreciation of the meaning of the universe and of God and of your own place in relation to the eternal verities, then you will have gained for yourself the only security that can come to you in a changing world — the security from within that changes not, and is not dismayed.
