Go the Class of 1910 T IS HARD to believe that the year 1910 is so close at hand and yet that many of us who were in College thirty years ago, when 1910 seemed in the remote distance, are still in the University's service. Your class is far enough across the border line which divided the nine- teenth century from the twentieth, to be truly the child of the twentieth century. Your faces will naturally be turned toward the front in an effort to descry that yet unrevealed future which lies before you. You are living and studying in a time of great intellectual and moral disturbance. In a very real sense, the foundations of the deep are breaking up and there is a peaceful reconstruction of intellectual, moral and political convictions going on, quite as startling as any that has taken place under more revolutionary surroundings. Amid all this you will need to keep your balance and to learn to see straight and to think true. In any period of reconstruction the emotional interests of men and women come strongly to the front, and not infrequently they completely overwhelm, at least for the time being, the intellectual processes. As College men, you are being trained in habits of thinking, of industrious applica- tion, and of co-operation, in both academic, social and athletic life. These are habits of prime im- portance to the man of the twentieth century. He must remember that his generation and his century are not the first that the world has seen and that already many problems have been solved and a huge amount of human experience has been accumulated. These past solutions and these past experiences the wise man uses, not as an anchor to hold him fast, but as a rudder to guide him in sailing over new seas. May each member of 1910 catch here at Columbia this spirit of conservatism and progress, and may his College career remain the brightest and happiest memory in a bright and happy life. With warm regard to each and all, I am, Sincerely yours, NICI-IGLAS MURRAY BUTLER. 7
