We are dnini; the best that we can to prepare you for that great hour, whieh is so rapidly apjjroach- ing. so that when ymi have finished vour work here you will he able to take your places as capable, efficient and thought- ful workers in the various fields which you have chosen. New oi)portunities on a wider scale and a liigher level will be offered to you than have ever lieen granted to a graduating class of tliis institution, and I hojje that you will recognize them when they come, and that vou will realize that thev are given to you not only for your sulfish ends, but tliat you might lu ' I]) others. I trust that you will alwavs remember tluit as your Alma Mater is trying to teach you, tiiat you must give out of the abundance of your hearts and lives the treasures whieh have been so freely given to you. You are taking vour places in the world at a time when tliere is a great intellectual, religious and moral ferment. Vou will have to find your way in a complicated but great civilization and under institutions of freedom, the most perfect the world has ever known. T!ie training which you have received here will enable you to appreciate your unusual oppor- tunities and will make you sensitive to your obligations to your fellowman. Men and women with a tiiirst for knowl- edge will turn to you for liglit and others who have no convictions of their own and wlio do not know their own sentiments until they have heard them expressed bv someone else, will seek you for guidance. It will be very unfortunate for them, as well as for you. if you fail to give them a definite answer to the questions of the hour, as they will expect you to sj)eak the word that will give them light, kindle in their hearts a jiatriotic devotion and will make the social atmosphere in which they live sweeter and more wholesome. Vour Alma Mater is conscious of the ] roblems and difficulties that confront you and will be glad to assist you in any way that slie can. We trust, therefore, that as you go forward you will carry with you an abiding interest in your Alma Mater, that you will remember her in vour ] ravers and will constantly work and live so as to reflect her noble instruction ill your characters. We shall always be ha])pv to have vou visit us or to write us and let us know of 3 ' our progress and of your i)roblems. Vf yours, F. D. Bllford President
