;, ' £ V PRESIDENT ' SSAGE mm : « -J£f It has often been said that knowledge is power, and thus it is evident that the worth of educators in a nation ' s potential for good cannot be over-estimated. In this mid-century decade, power centers largely upon scientific and technological progress. The Man of the Century is the technologist who is responsible for more new industrial developments in the past fifty years than were produced in all prior centuries. It is he who is responsible for the advancements in technology and science which have given the United States its present high standard of living, and it is to him that the entire nation and even the world looks for a continuing stream of new inventions and techniques which will bring an even greater cultural enrichment in the years to come. The industry upon which our culture depends requires men of high moral qualities, great initiative, lively imagination, sound scientific background, and congenial personal attributes. This Institute aims to produce such men in the future, as in the past, and the realization of this aim is made possible by the inspired leadership and guidance of a faculty whose sterling qualities are best exempli- fied by three men who have long served the Institute with the greatest distinction — Pro- fessor Herbert J. Ball, Professor Emeritus Elmer Fickett,and Professor James H. Kennedy, Jr. By their inspiration these three great teachers have developed the creativeness and the initiative of their students, establishing all the while the basic disciplines and understand- ing that are the foundations of a sound and well-balanced education. You who have been privileged to study under these outstanding educators are about to embark upon careers, well-trained for your selected tasks. You have been given the tools with which to lay the foundation for your life ' s work, and it is now up to you to make the most of that which;- has been given to you. As you face the challenge of the future, you have my sincere best wishes for every happiness and success. ■m M- ii ' . ' ®w ' - i -. y :
