H Camp Greenleaf, Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. To the Class of 1918: The profession to which you are now being ad- ,mitted has always been characterized by sacrifices. However, I know if you approach it with the same spirit that was manifested by your class as undergraduates, you will consider each sacrifice not as such, but as an oppor- tunity for doing good. These opportunities I fear are about to be tre- mendously multiplied, but I know that under such circumstances your thor- ough training, your initiative and your splendid spirit, will enable you all to win honor and glory for yourselves and your Alma Mater. Best wishes to you all for a very successful career, from 4 KSignedj WILLIAM BATES. 23
