MESSAGE IUNE 1940 GRADUATES: CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU! COMMENCEMENT IS A HAPPY OCCASION FOR ALL: FOR A GRADUATE THERE IS A FEELING OF SAT- ISFACTION BECAUSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND HOPEFUL ANTICIPATION OF THE FUTURE. FOR THE PARENT THERE IS A SENSE OF PRIDE BECAUSE OF YOUR SUCCESS, AND FOR THE FACULTY A THRILL AND IOY IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR LEADER- SHIP HAS BEEN REWARDED. ul l THIS FOUR-YEAR EXPERIENCE HAS DONE MUCH TO YOU AND FOR YOU. THE FOUNDATION LAID, THE STANDARDS MAINTAINED. THE HABITS FORMED, AND THE ASSO- CIATIONS MADE WILL COLOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. IUST NOW YOU ARE NOT THINKING MUCH ABOUT THE PAST BUT RATHER OF THE FUTURE WITH EARNEST HOPE OF SUCCESS-WHAT YOUR IDEAS OF SUCCESS ARE, WE WONDER. l l I WAS INTER- ESTED IN A RECENT STUDY MADE BY AN ENGLISH CLASS. BY MEANS OF PERSONAL INTERVIEWS WITH MEN 'AND WOMEN OF MANY DIFFERENT VOCA- TIONS THEY LEARNED WHAT THESE PEOPLE REGARD AS THE ESSENTIAL QUALITIES OF A SUCCESSFUL LIFE. I WAS NOT SURPRISED THAT THE FOREMOST OF THESE WERE HONESTY. INTEGRITY, ZEAL OR WORK, COOPERATION, TOLERANCE. COURAGE, LOY- ALTY, AND DETERMINATION. WITH SUCH PRINCIPLES FOR LIVING, CAN WE FAIL? l l OUR WORLD IS BLEEDING FROM THE TRAGEDIES CAUSED BY GREED FOR POWER. HATE, INTOLERANCE, SELFISHNESS, AND LACK OF REGARD FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE INDI- VIDUAL. MORE THAN EVER BEFORE OUGHT WE TREASURE OUR PRICELESS HERITAGE AS CITIZENS OF THE U. S. A.-OUR BILL OF RIGHTS. OUR LIB- ERTIES. l I WE ARE EXPECTING MUCH OF YOU. YOUR FRIEND A. F. BITTNER
