LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE I c the Graduates: Sincere good will and every good wish. Some of you are graduating into the world of industry. The ability, the ambition and the perseverance you have shown while pursuing your studies at the Lakehead Technical Institute will stand you in good stead in your new and wider horizons. Ambition will be essential for success. James Ramsay Ullman said: That men will some day reach the summit of the world means little, that they should want to reach it and try to reach it means everything. An ambitious objective by itself is not enough. To succeed you must have perseverance. Many people with no better than ordinary intellectual gifts have reached their objective because they persevered. Companies do not select men for promotion — men select themselves on the basis of their past performance in getting things done. Very often the work that pays best, is the work you do for nothing. Some of you will continue your studies in Normal Schools and Univer- sities. Lakehead Technical Institute graduates who have preceded you have established an enviable reputation. I have every confidence that you will accept and prove yourselves worthy of the challenge. When your formal education ends, you will be on your own. Face the future with confidence. Canada is a young country with abundant natural resources. We have young Canadians with the ability, energy and initiative to make use of what nature has so abundantly provided. Canada is a land of unlimited opportunity for you who graduate in 1952. H. S. BRAUN Acting Principal. 3 —

LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man ' s train- ing begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly. Thomas Henry Huxley — 4 —
