Courage, hard ork. self-mastery, and intelligent effort are all essential to a successful life. Only those are fit to li e who do not fear to die, and none are fit to li T who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. The work has been hard and the competition keen. For four years you have made endless sacrifices in order that you would realize this day. Already you see the results of hard work. The real payoff will come to those of you who will be better able to face the hardships of life, and who will recei e a lasting joy out of ser ing mankind as a trustee for God and Humanity. May you remain loyal, sincere and efficient, and may you carrv with ou into the waiting world a proven message and much needed leadership. 13
