To the Graduates EVER HAVE the graduates of high school or junior college gone forth into a more chaotic economic worldg and never has the world more needed the vigor and freshness of youth on the side of a new economic regime. As freshmen, some of us entered high school four years ago at the beginning of one of the greatest depressions in historyg others of us came two years ago at the lowest point in that depression. These years that we have spent here have marked the end of one era as well as the beginning of a new. The great frontier of the West with its boundless opportunities has vanished. Its rugged picturesqueness has been replaced by an era of efficiency with the development of an elaborate industrial structure. The structure looked sound, but we are still picking up the pieces of the crash of nineteen hundred and twenty-nine. No one, not even our best economists, can predict what lies ahead. One thing is certain. It will be the young men and women with courage and clear-sightedness who will be the leaders in the new age. It will be those with dynamic and visionary ideas who will be able to establish themselves in a changing world. It has never before been so necessary that the graduate have a wide scope of useful knowledge-a knowledge of the history and literature of the past to make possible a sound judgment of the presentg a knowledge of crafts so that he may ht himself into a position of skilled laborg and a knowledge of how best to use the leisure time which will come inevitably with a shorter working day. In the years preceding the depression the graduate found it easy to secure a position. Today he finds few places open to him. Although this difficulty of securing employment has been nation-wide, we in San Francisco are more fortunate than students in many other sections of the country. One reason for this is that the financial structure of San Francisco has been solid enough to withstand bank failuresg secondly, its geographic position as a seaport makes the city a center of world trade, particularly of trade with the Orientg and in the future we may hope for increased stimulation to business through the construction of the two great bridges. The graduates of fall 733 and spring B4 represent the building stones of the new era. We do not need to be in possession of all the facts about the new era, but we must understand the central social trends in order to cooperate intelligently in effecting changes in our present system. In order to win through the present economic muddle to a sounder civilization, we must have the right principles and the right training and the courage to employ them. Then we can go out and conquer the worldl 5
