Most of you in the College of Engineering are veterans who had their career interrupted hy military service. You returned here wishing to graduate as speedily as possihie, and often with irregular pro- grams to pursue, You found not only excessively crowded conditions, but failure hy Federal and State Authorities to complete until after the middle of the year emergency facilities which had heen promised for September. The delay in com- pletion of housing units was particularly distressing, especially to those who were married. You tool: all of these, and other diflicuities, in a good natured and understanding spirit. You have performed better than average scholastic conditions under many handicaps. I salute you for your accomplishments, and 1 feet sure that the same grit and determination which you have shown here will make for success after graduation. The University will Welcome you as among its most cherished alumni. Sincerely yours,
