The DART PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE MUCH has been said recently about the Lost Generation , meaning the young people who have graduated from high school and college during the last three or four years. Previously a college diploma usually meant an opportunity for pleasant and profitable employment. In fact one of the arguments for college attend- ance almost universally used was the increased earning power of the college graduate. During the last few years all this has been changed. Young people have found it difficult and in many cases impossible to get any kind of employment. Consequently they have been disappointed, disillusioned, and have suffered a distinct loss of morale. Their progress being impeded they are bewildered like someone who has lost his way. Hence the designation, The Lost Generation . Fortunately you, the members of the classes of 1935, are completing your work here at a time when economic conditions seem to be improving, when certain govern- mental policies seem to be bearing fruit. This may mean that when you are ready for your life work you will find something definite and desirable awaiting you. At least I sincerely hope so. But the hard lessons of the last few years which other young people have had to learn ought to provoke you to thought. There are abundant resources in our country and in the world to meet every need. Thoughtful people are asking, Why the need? Why the suffering? If you will address yourself to these problems instead of looking for a job already carved out and just to your liking, requiring a minimum of effort with good pay and a maximum of leisure time, you will not lack something to do. One of the great needs of society to-day is the pioneer spirit, initiative, independence, and creative effort. Are ye able to relinquish purple dreams of power and fame? That is your challenge as you face a world that needs all your abilities, all the service you can give. The hopes and good wishes of all your friends at Dickinson go with you. ( 12
