 FRANK L TURNER PRESIDENT With this Commencement, we mark another Mile-stone. Now a Mile-stone not only denotes distance; it indicates direction. Let us pause long enough to get the per- spective. To a considerable number, this Mile-stone” marks their graduation from col- lege; their Commencement ol the task of larger, more purposeful living. No class ever faced a greater challenge; no class ever faced a larger opportunity. To these graduates. I would suggest as a philosophy of life: Give to the world the best that you have, and the best will come back to you. w To the underclassmen, this Mile-stone denotes progress toward a goal. Remem- ber, you have not arrived; you are just in transit. Let me remind you of the danger of in- difference: I started right, my race was well begun. When you bade sprite, the child of night Said, 'Your race is nearly done'. So I forbore to run, and lost in sight, The race I might have won. The most unforgiveable sin in this day of stress and strain is the sin of mediocrity. That each one may realize that Life is real! Life is earnest! and the grave is not its goal, is the sincere wish of Your president, FRANK L. TURNER.
