fxanpt 311.0171 . . by flaaa, Ualednctoxuan, Before taking leave of my fellow-graduates, I'd like to ask you to focus your attention on Don Quixote, the Knight who tried to change the world single-handed. In the long-running musical Man of La Mancha he sings a song in which he espouses the principles by which he lives. These could well be adopted by all of us in law enforce- n-ent. First . . . To dream the impossible dream. Throughout these United States the idea of police professionalization is being vigorously pursued by a host of career-minded individuals and organ- izations. But there are many who believe it will never come to pass. We must have the courage to dream this 'timpossiblev dream. Second . . . To fight the unbeatable foe. Crime will never be completely beaten, yet we must do battle. This graduating class has the background to contribute greatly to this fight. Last To reach the unreachable star. Many of our Police Commissioners came up through the ranks to occupy the department's top job. Rack in the 1940's a young patrolman studied law at Temple University in Philadelphia. He was reach- ing for that unreachable star. Commissioner I,eary's success is living proof that it can be done. John .lay has given us a solid base from which to proceed. Secure in our beliefs we can fight the unbeatable foe. High in our ideals, we can dream the impossible dream. And. with the help of divine providence. using your present accomplishment as a launching pad. you can reach the unreachable star. William J. McCullough
