Twenty-two K .4 , A ,.w LESLIE M. GOODER President ofthe Alumni Association A MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1930 'WVhen you shall have completed your college course, we trust that it will not be merely to become nominal alumni, assuming a relation to the University represented only by a gradually failing memory of happy days gone by. No, let your relation to the University be ever increasingly vital and dynamic. Keep up your contacts with the University. The spirit of Northwestern is something you cannot afford to have fade out of your lives-and without care it will fade and dwindle, smothered out by a gradually increasing pressure of other interests. c'Of the sons and daughters of Northwestern who treasure their relation to her, over seven thousand are making an active, organized and sustained effort to promote a greater, liner North- western, and in doing so, they are preserving and nurturing some- thing of what is best in their own lives.

'IIS The combination of the gasoline engine, the steel and the fabric in the airplane has given in man his quickest and easiest method of transportation. The combination of the library, the class- ll gtg room and the laboratory in the modern university has been for man the best means yet devised for developing and training his mind in that process called education. Qliglmi Yet Walking continues to be possible and belated foot-travellers continue to arrive. There are other methods of achieving the condition of being educated than by a university course, but undirected methods surely call for a greater expenditure of elfort. VVilliam Shakespeare and Abraham Lincoln Were not uneducated men although they had never been inside a university, and there are more educational opportunities today for a determined seeker outside the universities m ill, than there were in the days of Shakespeare and Lincoln. It is only necessary to consider the op- li portunities opened by the public. libraries. Students come to the university seeking opportunity plus guidance. v u I 1 1 .Y Those men Who have had the energy to achieve their education by their own undirected gl efforts are an inspiration and a challenge to the universities. They justify the value of our objects 'l lbfltfi . . . . I. . ' 11-M- by their Willingness to sacrifice and they rebuke our laggards vvho would doubt the destination or y lulf would expect to be carried on the journey Without effort. They are pathlinders along the Way We 12, would go and their presence assures us that the universities have not gone astray in search of false I' plfgifl values. They recreate our faith. The road which is bare of foot-sore pilgrims is more likely to p 11 lead to a pleasure resort than to a shrine. The university obligation to furnish opportunity plus guidance determines the peculiar in responsibilities of the administration. It is incumbent upon the administrative officers to safe- jk? guard the pre-eminence We have gained in educational opportunity as Well as to Watch with eternal ' vigilance the landmarks and the fellow-travellers on the changing roads on which We are offering 1rl'i lveglg guidance.

He graduated from Illinois State Normal in 18915 from Northwestern University, A.B., 1895, and from McCormick Theo- logical Seminary in 1898. I-Ie received his degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Leipsic in 1900, and was granted the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws by Cornell College in 1921. Dr. Scott's life work has centered almost exclusively around Northwestern University. In 1901 he was appointed Associate Professor of Psychology, in 1908, Professor of Psychology, and in 1920 was elected President of the University by unanimous vote of the trustees. In 1916-17, on leave of absence, he was Director of the Bureau of Salesmanship Research at Carnegie Technical Institute. In 1919-21 he was president of the Scott Company, Consultants and Engineers in Industrial Personnel. I-Ie is the author of The Theory of Advertiring, Pfyehology of Public Speaking, Injfneneing .Men in Burineff, Inerearing Human Ejfeieney, Pryehology of Advertiring in Theory and Practice, Science and Coinmon Senre in Working with Mevi, Perronnel Management, and other books, all noted for thorough-going scholarship and practical value. From 1917 to 1919 Dr. Scott was Director of the Committee on Classification of Personnel in the United States Army. He started with a desk, a chair and one clerk. Under this committee 3,655,000 men were classified. For every job in the army there was an exact definition of duties, and for every man in the army there was an exact description of his abilities. For every unit in the army specifications were prepared showing just what each man must be able to do, and these tables were then used in selecting the right man for special organizations and units in line or staff corps. VVhen the committee went out of ofhce it turned back S25o,ooo of the fund which had been appropriated for its use. It was noted for its wise use of funds and for' its remarkable efhciency. President Scott's service to Northwestern University has been of priceless value. Educa- tional standards have been raised, faculties have been strengthened, students are selected with greatest care, personnel work with students has been installed, and his methods here are being copied elsewhere. Under his leadership a great campaign was conducted, by which the financial resources of the University were vastly increased. As a result of this and other work lVIcKinlock Memorial Campus with its magnificent buildings now houses the professional schools, the new stadium has been in use for three years, fourteen sorority houses and two open dormitories provide for almost ive hundred of the women of the University. Recently 53,000,000 has been given which will eventually yield a large sum for scholarships. And now the President is hard at Work to bring about a development on the Evanston Campus that will equal the progress made in Chicago. Walter Dill Scott is in his ninth year of service as President of the University. It is my hope that he may be our President as long as he lives,'for, to use his own slogan, we feel welhave the right man in the right place.
