by Mr. Messing OR you, memhers of the Class of January 1940, Commence- ment Day will happily celehrate the termination of one success- ful stage in your career. Promptly, however, it will mark the opening of another--a period in which you will he afforded ample opportunities for the realization of your hopes and dreams. There will he no actual closing of one stage and the opening of another. The change will show no decisive line of demarcation, for life is a con- tinuous experience. -ln this change, the binding force between periods of your growth has been and will he Education. It led you through elementary school: it carried you through high school: and now, on leaving these halls, you will it accompanying you in any direction you may turn-he it college, or the school of experience. Education lilcewise linlcs the past with the present, the present with the future-a common heritage, the service ot which will prove of im- measurable aid in guiding your steps along the paths of tomorrow. I However, you will graduate into a world passing through unparal- leled social and economic upheavals. On all sides you will find rea- son assailed hy prejudice and passion. Your cosmos will appear to totter on the hrinlc of destruction. You will find forces that have risen to challenge the most fundamental ol human values. You will lace a dismal picture indeed, hut it is a picture not without hope and encouragement. I We in the United States have met with such con- ditions hefore. We have seen the Four Horsemen ride this land. Vve have faced crossroads in our national life. Forces of intolerance have spawned hatred and internal strife, and justice has hung in the balance. But when things loolced hlaclcest, this republic turned to Youth for succor and never she Youth wanting. -The United States is still a young man's country. To he sure the going is pretty tough, hut industry will again, as it has in the past, find plenty of room for amhition, energy, and the alertness of Youth. And when the time comes we lcnow you will he ready for your part in the American way of lite. I And so in January, 1940, culminate four happy years f-1 years of struggle, of endeavor, of aspiration and achievement. But do not thinlc of this occasion as an ending. It is in- finitely more a laeginning-a commencement of life in a larger and richer sense.
