“THE CONNING TOWER” 192 9 25 To the Graduates of the Four Year History Course Von are the first to receive decrees in your course. This makes your class of historical importance. Since historical events are unique, your class came near emphasizin'; its uniqueness hv being the last, as well as the first, to receive these decrees. Your class has political and educational distinction in addition to the historical. You (along: with your sister graduates at Keene), caused the legislature to appoint the commission to survey tin higher educational institutions of the state. Did some members of your class in that secret conference induce the commission to recommend no change in the educational policy relating to the Normal Schools.’ Perhaps your knowledge of Latin tin members of the commission were all friendly toward that language—enabled you to persuade them to advocate the stains quo. All this relates to the exciting past. What of the future? Don’t think that the burden rests solely upon your few shoulders to secure degrees for the other classes to conic. Put may your accomplishments and activities prove of such high quality that the inference may easily be made that, if the Plymouth Normal School can graduate such as you from a collegiate course, it ought to be permitted to do so for all time. Your class, again, has been the first to have a course in Philosophy. You know that temporal affairs may be viewed sub specie act emit at is. When something worse than a survey enters your experience, when others seem to approve standards of thought and action lower than yours, hold in mind the implications of this expansive phrase.
