Robert John Ernst To the Graduates of the Four Year Commerce Curriculum For the past four years you have had almost daily opportunity to observe the need for planning in teaching. Your instructors have planned their class work, when it was successful, and you have planned your work, when it was successful. Particularly during your “period of training” you have seen the need for carefully prepared teaching plans. But the best of daily lesson plans cannot end in success unless they are all a part of a more general plan—the plan of the course. And, likewise, the plan of the course cannot be effective without a carefully prepared plan for the curriculum as a whole. And the best of curricula cannot accomplish the desired aims unless the teachers, who arc responsible for putting the curricula into effect, understand them. And so, may I suggest to you as teachers, a motto which, to me, is the very foundation of success in any walk of life—Know Where You Are Going. Robert John Ernst

Loon Lake Far reach of mountains across a lake’s lonely sweep— A sense of trees and quiet things along sequestered shores— The call of wild to wild—and if you walk— Your steps go softly, quickly on forest floors Which should alone be trod By ones who search for heaven And a God.
