Dean s Message ¥ WOULD LIKE to bid farewell to the class of ' 37 with the words of Benjamin Disraeli: To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge. Always keep Disraeli ' s words in mind throughout life: Your education will not cease here, it will continue to grow. Be ever mindful to direct it in the proper channels, channels that will be productive to you and society as well. In entering upon your journey through life be ever mindful of ideals that your Alma Mater has taught you: GOOD MINDS, GOOD MORALS, AND GOOD MANNERS. Select the type of work that you like best and put your best into your occupation. Thomas Jefferson once said, that nothing is troublesome that we do willingly. I would that each of you be ever mindful of your determination to suc- ceed. I know that you will have many failures, heartaches, and regrets, but you must learn to profit by your mistakes. Build again and again upon each successive failure. Profit by the mistakes, not only of your- self, but by the mistakes of others that you may observe. Never give up: Couple your knowledge with a never-failing will and strong rugged determination. Have FAITH, FAITH, FAITH. With best wishes to all, JOHN W. PATRICK, Acting Dean
