Workmen Ready to Our Tasks Called upon to undertake any new work, whether it be the shaping of material things into a product of commerce, or formulating ideas into expression as factors in life, any of us will turn unconsciously to the tools which we have most accustomed ourselves to use. Granting in any case our latent skill and our individual pride of workmanship, the product which we will deliver depends in no small measure upon the sufficiency of our tools and the condition in which they are kept. It has been our good fortune to accumulate during our school days an equip- ment of tools in the shape of observation, comparison, memory, judgment, vision, hope, inspiration and ambition, each useful in forming the materials of life into accomplishment. VVe have been trained and directed in the care and use of this equipment, to the end that we may stand ready as skilled workmen, unafraid of the task set before us. In justice to ourselves, and in credit to the master craftsmen who have led us so far, let us as we go forth to our work pledge ourselves to make the best use of our endowment, and to keep always at the highest level of attainment. Let us go forth alert, keen, interested, awake, prepared to live more and better as we live longer. Let us continue to read and listen and study. Let us hope and dream and pray. So living and thinking and acting, when we recall the days now glowing as the twilight and those coming days whose dawn we now but faintly see, shall we justify the efforts and the struggles which we have under- gone here and the thoroughness with which we have been instructed. i XV.
