DB. IOHN L. ABBOTT Graduates from this school have, since l927, been building for the future. The traditions they have established, the records they have achieved have erected a foundation upon which our progress in the future can be built. The severity and ravages of the past few years give reason for re-evaluation of our objectives as an educational institution and a re-evaluation of our training procedures. More than ever before we need people who are capable of making social adjust- ments and solving social problems which arise. Education has done a reasonably good job of training doctors, teachers, and en- gineers. We have yet to learn how to teach people to get along with people. We could do with fewer fine roads and fewer mag- nificent buildings. The problems which seem to be the stumbling blocks are those problems which deal with the relations between people. Man has pretty successfully solved the problems which grew out of the conflict between man and his environment, but to date we have rather made a mess of the problems which grow out of the conflict between peoples. With the rapid advance of science the future leaves us one of two choices: to limit the forces of selfishness and solve social problems honestly and equitably or to face extinction through international conflict. Our success can't be measured in dollars but needs to be measured in terms of our ability to understand and clarify human relations. IOI-IN L. ABBOTT, Principal CDUR
