The four-year course, naturally, has had Wgrowing painsng it has been changed from year to year, subjects have been added, modified, re-located. I feel that it has been constantly improved and, of course, it is the duty and the earnest wish of all of us here on the faculty to still further improve it. But I think you can feel that you have been offered the best four-year course we have so far developed. what you have taken out of this offering depends, as it does with any studyq on what you have put into it. It may sound strange, but I really hope that all of you feel you didn't put enough into it. Because that will mean that you realize the importance of application, and realize that application, work and study will always be important to you, in every sort of field - not just the study of your chosen profession, but that of literature, languages, music, art, philosophy - everything that will make you a complete, well-rounded, truly educated individual. If you take that feeling away from here with you I feel that Maine Maritime Academy has helped you far more than it has in giving you a degree and enabling you to obtain a license and commission, important though those may be. I sincerely hope you all do have that feeling. If you have, you can go far. Good luck to you alll .75,,..i,. J. M. Kennaday Academic Lean 13

Not so. integrity, perserverance, to put forth more effort highly valued and desired. training and education at the Maine Maritime Academy and realize that your education must never cease, I have no doubt of your future success. I think the following quotation from the writings of William James is most appropriate: HLet no youth have any anxiety about the upshot of his education, whatever the line of it may be. If he keep faithfully busy each hour of the working day, he may safely leave the final result to itself. He can with per- fect certainty count on waking up some fine morning, to find himself one of the competent ones of his generation, in what- ever pursuit he may have singled out. Silently, between all the details of his business, the power of judging in all that class of matter will have built up within him as a possession that will never pass away!H 12 Albion F. Co fin
