MESSAGE Again the Forty-niners go forth in search of treasure. A hundred years after the great gold rush, a new set of pioneers is ready to find trails through a wilderness, to brave the dangers of a distant journey, and to hold steadfastly to a high resolve. The perils that beset these latter day Ar- gonauts may be just as menacing as the trials and hazards that were faced a century ago. The Lincoln Highway, with service stations at convenient intervals, has replaced the lonely and rugged Overland Trail. But along the route that today ' s Forty-niners are going to travel, there is still the chance of exhaustion, of sudden ambush, and of wandering astray. It is my conviction that the Class of 1949 is well equipped to undertake its venture. Our graduates have the stamina, the fortitude, and the sense of direction that will enable them to win through to the journey ' s end. You members of the Class of 1949 will learn more from life than we have taught you, but let me give one final word of counsel. In all your undertakings keep the spirit of adven- ture alive. Never succumb to drudgery, but make even what seems drudgery a challenge and a new experience. S 13
