atotftoer to Bebtcatton Class of 1930: I extend to you my greetings and acknowledgments. I appre- ciate the honor and courtesy of this dedication. Let there b e added also my con- gratulations and my hopeful prophecies of future distinction, for you have shown me in yourselves something of the spirit that is destined to conquer. The class of 1930 has afforded an interesting opportunity to study your per- sonal reaction to entirely unexpected and normally distressing obstacles; and the courage and cheerfulness with which you have met and overcome them, the disci- plined manner in which you have cooperated, without desertion or complaint, to wrest victory from the jaws of defeat, have commanded my highest admiration. And I am convinced that such an experience will furnish you. in turn, with a fund of strength and resourcefulness of especial value in the uncertain years to come. In this highly formal and stabilized world of ours, the ordinary affairs of life, and particularly of young life, usually fall out very much as they are expected to do and in the same general fashion and sequence. The stage is set for us, the scenery changes little, the plot assumes familiar patterns, the prompter performs the customary functions, the players act their parts through comedy, tragedy, melo- drama or burlesque with varying degrees of mediocrity, skill or brilliancy, and then yield their places to another group who re-enact a continual repetition of similarity. I am speaking of the Usual merely. Now if such a stereotyped and paralysing condition of things were to be uni- versally and forever fixed in the history of soul and mind and endeavor, then the world would be a sorry place and the centuries would mean but little. But a fair and increasing leaven of humanity has always been alert and responsive to the challenge of the Unusual. Therein lies the hope of progress and the advancement of the world. Therein do you belong by training and profession. Therein have you enlisted for a lifetime of service to the world that needs you. I 7J
