TO THE CLASS GF JUNE, 1934: fre taken my frm where 1,176 found it. Es, and we may be sure that Kiplingls old soldier took his work where he found it, and that he took his life where he found it and as he found it, in fact his part of the world just as he found it. He did not waste time wondering if he liked the world. No one asked him if he liked it, nor made any effort to suit it to his particular wishes. He was expected to step into his place in the ranks and give good service until he was called out as a leader, just doing the thing he was needed for and serving those who needed him, trying to live and work and play so that the generation which followed him would find the world better because he had worked and played to make it better. With the best work there must be fun-wholesome, up- lifting fun, to make the world go easier.,Plenty of this kind of fun is to be found, the fun that needs no apology, no explanation, that brings no regrets after the play is done. The idea that high school and college graduates feel that they are needed to set things right immediately after gradu- ation is not new. For years a favorite idea at commencement exercises has been to caution graduates against the notion that the world has long been waiting for them to readjust conditions. No doubt the need for readjustment is greater than usual. It is true that you will have a great part to per- form in the readjustment. It may be your privilege to change the whole purpose of human endeavor. You may be able to fix a new standard under which one's value to the commu- nity is estimated, not upon accumulation of material things, but upon service to others, not only the desire to provide equality of opportunity, but to secure achievement of the objectives which the opportunity presents. Can you bring fulfillment of hopes closer to everyday life? Such service demands broad vision, new objectives, new courage, an un- assailable character, perseverance, faith, confidence in self. The need may not be so much for new ideals as a return to some of the substantial ideals of former generations, to those virtues, which, as President Sproul has said . . . men, through long process of trial and error, have found indis- pensable factors of a tolerable life. So take the world as you find it. Build upon the factors that other generations have tested for you. Save yourselves from long processes of trial and error. With all the drive at your command, with work and fun, build a world sane and safe for the builders who follow you. Thisiyou can do if you are the line and noble young people your principal believes you to be. Prjzzripazl.
