Vice=Priecipsil§ 9 M©§§ag©§ To the Class of Summer 1937, greetings: You leave us for larger fields, spread wide in this modern world of miracles. With- out doubt in your own lifetimes, will arise wonders beyond our most fantastic dreams. Yet material miracles can add nothing to the spiritual stature of mankind. Indeed, some of these achievements seem only to be impelling humanity toward destruction. We hope that yours may be the opportunity to help disperse the sinister shadow of materi- alism which threatens our civilization, by tuning in to those intangible broadcasting stations from which may come a spiritual enlightenment as yet undreamed. Your sincere friend. S Ol m4 a UjoJUajn£c vo . To the Summer Class of 1937, greetings: When radio is mentioned one usually thinks of music, entertainment, or sport. A far more significant feature of this amazing invention is its use as an element in safety. Think of the countless lives that have been saved on distressed ships at sea; visualize the airplane pilots who depend upon warnings and directions given by radio; consider the great national disasters of fire and flood where suffering has been relieved because of rapid communication. All scientific research should be conducted and utilized for the welfare of humanity. Likewise, the benefits of education, even of your high school education, should be directed toward the improvement of mankind. Service for others as well as personal advancement should be a part of your ideal of a life career. Sincerely yours. e CC ££L-
