The CHRONICLE A Living Ideal To those who enter the outside world for the first time are vouch- safed dreams of accomplishment and visions of the heights of successful endeavor. Too often the ideal is but a vague and elusive unreality, which, when reached after a long and toilsome struggle, is a mere husk for which more worthy objects have been cast aside. The Class of 1926, however, has before it the example of success in the man who stands at their head and yet numbers himself with them, Dr. Fosdick. Few people can foretell with accuracy the results of years of labor, so the Class is especially fortunate to have a remarkable model of achievement through service for others as an ever-present guide. Success to-day is usually reckoned as a one-man affair, but there is a larger success made up of the favorable terminations of the careers of many men who have been impelled and encouraged by the driving force of a single man who submerged his personal desires for glory in theirs and felt that he had gained his reward by their attainments. Dr. Fosdick is such a man. He has been a lamp to the feet of thou- sands who will always remember the aid which he accorded them. He has been the fire of intellectuality and moral excellence from which his students have lighted torches to illumine their pathway through life. He has been the spring of inspiration of whose waters scores have drunk deeply. A life thus spent can only be concluded after an uninterrupted series of acts performed for the benefit of mankind. His work in the future will continue to be as great and as far-reaching as his former efforts have been. On his graduation he will pass to new fields of activity, leaving behind at Masten Park a recollection of a deed well-done. Let us then, Members of the Class of 1926, strive onward and upward to reach the goal attained by our living ideal. Let us press forward to new contacts with life and people, having for our watchword, Service. And above all, let us enshrine in our hearts the memory of a man who devoted the major portion of his life to starting others on the right road. Lester D. Lopez. 16
