THE ECHO VD! ISI A PARTING MESSAGE E are approaching the end of our four years together as a class. All things considered, they have been happy years. All of us have ac- quired some knowledge. A few, I fear, are of the opinion that with graduation their education will have been completed. In reality, our education has just begun. We are about to enter the high- road of practical living. We have crossed the bay, but the ocean lies before us. Some of us will go into business or industry, others will continue on to a pro- fessional training. At any rate, we must now take our place in the society out- side of school. We dare not close our minds to new ideas. The time has arrived to consider those elements which lead to success. By success, I do not refer to the acquisition of money, useful as money may be. Success should be measured in terms of our individual contribution to the im- provement of society and the community in which we live, and in terms of the genuine happiness which we get from life, To be happy and to be genuinely useful. there are several fundamental principles which each one must follow. First, we must carefully analyze our capacities and abilities. Knowing them, as well as knowing our shortcomings, we may rationally and wisely choose our purpose in life, which is the second step. XV e must know where we are going before we start. Each of us will prob- ably have a different purpose, but the purpose selected by each individual should be worthy of his mettle. Some of us will reach greater heights than others. This is inevitable. However, we can all do our best if we follow a plan laid out in accordance with our equipment. VVhatever our purpose, and it should be a noble one, we must have the courage and conviction to persevere to the end in the attainment of that purpose. Gur courage must be rational 3 it must not be a blind courage. In the attainment of our goal, we should never fail to seek counsel from those who we know are able to advise and guide us. XV ith help from competent advisers our chances for failure will be lessened, and our chances for success, enhanced. There is not room for all of us in the institutions of higher learning. All of us should not go on to college or study for the professions. The work of the world calls for great varieties of ability. Therefore, my fellow classmates, my parting advice is this: analyze your- selfg discover your strong points and your weaknesses. Strengthen your weak- nesses whenever possible. Choose a purpose worthy of yourself, and work per- sistently and courageously toward the accomplishment of that purpose. If you do this, you will be of maximum usefulness to society. In being socially useful, you will have attained real success, and you will be happy because of that success. PAUL C. STRYKER, Prc's:'dmzt of the Class of 1933 I2
