To the Graduating Class of the I ' lattslmrgh Stale Normal School: It {jives mi- great pleasure to express to you my thanks for the honor of this dedication. From an experience of three years with the class, and personal acquaintance with the individual members, I have the fullest confidence in vour future. The one cardinal principle which I helieve should be in the creed of every teacher may he .summed up in the motto of a great university, namely: Cn-scat Scientia Vita Excolaiur (Let knowledge grow, let life he enriched). Any influence that tends to -suppress or thwart this growth and enrichment a true teacher regards as perilous. The professional spirit which animates the successful teacher is essentially one of service. The compelling urge in teaching springs from a conviction that ignorance is bondage and that knowledge makes men free. Your work here has been char- acterized by expression of that -spirit and of that dynamic urge. May the goals you have set for yourselves and your daily practice grow more and more completely harmonious as you progress in your work. Si ti ii
