re. DPR 5 —7) oe BN “Soe Director's Greetings To the Members oy the Graduating Classes oy 1919: I esteem ita privilege to have this opportunity to extend to you on behalf of Pratt Institute and its School of Science and Technology most sincere-and cordial greetings. The Institute has prepared you well’to go forward efficiently upon careers of your choosing. You have acquired a technical training of proved worth, thorough-going and comprehensive, upon which you may rely with confidence as you now assume your places in this country’s industries. Yet well as this training will serve you, it can hardly carry you to ultimate success unless supplemented as you go onward, by spare time study of subjects relating to your vocation and by a continually deepening and broadening extension of your general education. No man’s education is ever finished. It dwindles unless it expends, because it cannot remain unchanging. Observation of successful men commonly reveals that their education, however unconventional the method of its attainment, has been a continuous development throughout their lives. The important thing is not the amount of education a man has when he leaves school, but rather the rate at which he develops thereafter. I would emphasize therefore the wisdom of beginning at once to attend carefully to your further intellectual and professional growth. It will shortly be your privilege to enter into full fellowship with a large and well-organized body of Pratt men, numbering some two thousand graduates of the courses which you represent. The interests of this School and of its Alumni Association are inseparable. The benefits which will accrue to you as members of this influential body will depend upon the extent to which you actively affiliate yourself with it. Active support.of your Alumni Association includes the payment of its annual dues, subscription to ‘‘News-Ology,”’ attendance at the annual reunions whenever possible, and a favorable response to such other calls as the Association may make upon you from time to time. Upon you as students Pratt Institute has earnestly impressed its ideals and standards. The honor and reputation of the Institute are now yours to safeguard. As Director of your School I would enjoin upon you to carry with you throughout your careers henceforth the same spirit of loyalty to the Institute that has marked your attitude as students. Personally, I shall ever have a warm regard for your welfare and progress, and my good wishes go with you. SAMUEL S. EDMANDS.
