Michigan State has reached its greatness not just as an institution, but as the pace- maker of one phase of man's progress, a sym- bol of concern for all men and all people. The fact that Michigan State stands today with the greatest represents its acceptance, and in that we may iind hope for man and his world, for if man is willing to build on principles such as these, surely he will find his answers. The great advances which we attribute to the principles laid down by Michigan State's founders are not the work of State alone, a multitude of institutions and people have joined in them. But State carries the responsi- bility of a leader and it is here, at State, that we should pause, in this strife-torn 20th cen- tury, to seek in great principles the answers to great problems. Thus in 1955 we point again to State's one interest-the development of an edu- cated man, a well-rounded citizen, one who, in the words of President Hannah, will lead as capably as he will follow. State has sought to bring forth men and women who will be model participants in a free society, who will share in the preservation of democratic ideals. Because the people, in their wisdom, have adopted the results of the daring experiment at Michigan State to the whole of education, we speak of State not as one institution or one isolated thought. What has been done at State has been done elsewhere. And it is our inter- est here to demonstrate why these things were worthy of duplication and development, and why the great principles which underlie them have not died - and must never die. 7

Why does Michigan State, with impressive programs, speeches and books, make such an event of its 100th anniversary? Thomas Carlyle said, Nothing that was worthy in the past departs. And the Greek, Dionysius, is said to have defined history as teaching by examples. It is in belief in the fundamental truth of thoughts like these that we hold up Michigan State and its history this year as a great ex- ample, that we see in the thoughts and deeds of Michigan State not mere acts of transitory importance, but a way of thinking, a philoso- phy that has demonstrated a clear answer to the needs for all people to learn to live to- gether with a common purpose.
