ot ediccttion to CARL McKINLEY Dear Seniors: You have listened to many words (should I say of wisdom ?) from my mouth, on various occasions too numerous to mention, and most of them probably long ' since forgotten. It would therefore be out of place for me to seize this opportunity to lecture you further, especially under the handicap of having my words written down, to stare at me in the future with the cold inevitability of printed matter, prov- ing how little my wis dom amounted to! Education is a matter of training the mental muscles, and the material that they are exercised upon, like the food used to build up the bodily muscles, must necessarily be largely dissipated and forgotten. It is the end result that counts, and if you have acquired some musical taste, some technical proficiency, and some understanding of the intricate problems of the performer and teacher of music, then I might forgive you even if you could not remember the date of Bach ' s birth! Although it has often been said before, it still remains true that no class can pass through a teacher ' s hands without helping materially in the education of that teacher. This is not to say that we learn by our mistakes, but that in the give and take of the classroom not all the give is on one side, nor the take on the other. We all emerge from the struggle wiser, and let Us hope no sadder! We of the faculty are grateful to you for what you have taught us, and as you take up your allotted tasks we hope that you will find that we have prepared you in some measure to realize your potential capacities in achieving that success which is within the grasp of all who are willing to make the effort. Cordially,
