A MESSAGE EROM TWE PRESIDENT HISS WASN7 IN THAT DAWN TO IE ALIVE. IUT TO SE YOUNG WAS VERY HEAVEN The one distinct message i would leave with THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1935 IS THAT IN ALL HISTORY THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A DAY OF GREATER OPPORTUNITY FOR A YOUNG MAN WHO HAS PREPARED HIMSELF FOR A DEFINITE WORK THAN TODAY. Within the memory of persons now living the PROGRESS OF SCIENCE HAS TRANSFORMED INDUSTRY. GOVERNMENT. PROFESSIONAL CAREERS. EVERY PHASE OF HUMAN ENDEAVOR. IN THE LAST FIFTY YEARS MORE THAN IN ALL THE PRECEDING YEARS IN HISTORY THE BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE HAS BEEN OPENED AND ITS CONTENTS CLASSIFIED. CODIFIED. AND INDEXED SO THAT IT IS AVAILABLE. IN NO TIME IN THE WORLDS HISTORY HAS IT BEEN MORE IMPORTANT THAT THE INDIVIDUAL SHOULD BE EDUCATED. THAT IS. DEFINITELY TRAINED FOR A LIFE WORK. BUT LET IT NOT BE FORGOTTEN THAT THIS THING WE CALL EDUCA-TION IS NOT A STAND-STILL ACCOMPLISHMENT BUT RATHER A PROCESS THAT IS CONTINUOUS THROUGHOUT LIFE. ONLY THOSE WHO USE THEIR TRAINING IN COLLEGE AS A MEANS OF FURTHER AND PROGRESSIVE ATTAINMENT HAVE A RIGHT TO CALL THEMSELVES EDUCATED. B.E. GEER.
