To the Class of 1928: During your period of training in the Normal School, your instructors have endeavored to keep ever before you the principle that the important things of life should receive their full measure of time, and the non-essentials only a smaller pro- portion. However, while the teacher is to a large extent the instrumentality and the directing force in the training of youth, books are the repository of the world ' s store of knowledge. You should remember then in the future so to plan the di- tribution of your time that you may find opportunity to become acquainted with the master-minds of the ages. Abraham Lincoln devoted much of his spare time to the mastery of books, the Bible and Shakspere, and the inspiration he received from these gave to the world the Gettysburg Address. You have studied a few books here; and we have tried to help you to value them as friends which you will not discard on leaving your classes. We have tried also to make, you feel a craving, for reading of a high order, so that in future choice of books, you will devote your energies to those that reflect, not the ephemeral thought of the passing age, but the eternal truths embodied in what Kuskin calls books for all time. In conclusion, do not forget that each human being is a book unto himself. Each one of you goes forth as a book fresh from the print-shop, as yet unopened and unread, which at some time or other the world may read. Elevation to some place in fame — or notoriety — may lead to the spreading of your life ' s story on the pages of the world ' s press. Preserve then the story in all its finer forms. Keep Hi. divine poetry of life clear as crystal and uncontaminated by the corrupted cur- rents of the world, so that when the Day conies and y ou join other volumes on the shelves of Time you may be so well-worn as to show the fruitful work you have accomplished.
