We of this class of nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, having an impression of life and having by vision grasped the gestures of future advancement, dedicate this book to the spirit of progress, be- cause we, being hopeful, wish to both derive its benefits and to help raise man- kind to a higher level of civilization through our future affairs. Each generation has profited by the exploits and misfortunes of the preced- ing one and each in turn has made its contribution, if ang, to progress: so we without expletive intent humbly offer this as our gesture to that spirit.

Both are essential for leadership, , although an excessive amount of the one may make the other seemingly unnecessary. Wapotleon Bonaparte is the supreme example of initiative, he is a breathing monument to the inertia of a human mind in motion. This granted, he died an outcast from all society. He was not master of himself, for he could not properly use his gain. He was not edu- cated. Homer is the exacting pedant. His songs have been sung throughout the world for perhaos three thousand years. and yet no one knows who or what he was, because he did not have the initi- ative to assert himself. CBoth of these men were great, and yet, what might have been their destinies if they had possessed their lacking requisite? Educa- tion and initiative com- bined make for progress. May we be progressive! f K
