THE PRESIDENT From time to time during recent months attention has been called to the fact that forty years have passed since the opening of the Rice Institute for the academic year 1912-13. Such passing years are of especial interest to those con- cerned with the future of the Rice Institute as a university of liberal and technical learning, and also to those who re- member, often now through rosy glasses, the early days. To you seniors about to graduate, however, a more significant fact is that four years have passed since your gradu- ation from high school. These four years are more important to you than the forty of the Institute's life. You see them as a background from which to project your own personal futures. , And so may I take this opportunity to emphasize the fact that wherever each of you goes, whatever each of you does, the best wishes of the Rice Institute are with you. May you always regard the years spent here as important and helpful. May you have gained from them strength to meet the problems that lie ahead, and wisdom to avoid the pit- falls of mediocrity. May you have every success in high endeavor and useful service. ' WILLIAM VERMILLION HOUSTON
