Human motivation is so complex that it defies analysis. lt is, how- ever, safe to affirm that motivation is a complex which grows out of a com- bination of past experiences, present stimulations and speculative achievements. Unquestionably tradition functions in the development of motivation because tradition is the carry over of the ideals and experiences of the past to the present. Because this is an indubitable fact the 1929 Annual makes a definite and rich contribution to Alma Mater by selecting TRADITIONS for its primary motif. The two traditions that I desire to emphasize are first: accent and ex- emplify Hthe best in educational thought and action, and second: emphasize serviceableness within and without the State University. These two traditions bear the relation of cause and effect. They must be incorporated into the ideals and practices of every member of the State University household if they are to yield dividends which carry over from the past to the present and from the present to the future.

ln this changing world it is to be hoped that more and more problems Will be solved dispassionately and rationally rather than emotionally and traditionally. The method of solving problems from facts and working hypotheses has proved so successful in the fields of science and engineering that its extension to other fields seems desirable. On the other hand, since choice and action are so commonly emotional rather than judicial the preservation of these emotions that have resulted in lasting satisfaction and good is vitally necessary. The University stands for both sound judgment and the preservation, through tradi- tions, of the ideals and aspirations of mankindg both are necessary for the life, the progress, and the happiness of society. l trust that this issue of The Sentinel will help in the preservation of some of the traditions which have proved to be of benefit and a source of satisfaction to the faculty and students of the State University of Montana.
