n MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT To the Class of 1932: As the time draws near when you are to receive from your Alma Mater the diplomas which signify the completion of your under- graduate work, I tender to you in advance my sincere congratula- tions. I share with you your joy of achievement, your pride of victory. But in so doing I commend to you the words of Charles Evans Hughes, American jurist and statesman: One of the most important lessons of life is that success must continually he won and is never finally achieved. In truth, all you have done is to gain another level of responsibility in which you must make good. The farther you have climbed, the more disastrous the fall. As has been well said, it is not worth while to talk of the end of a period, for you are always at the beginning of a new one. You have been vigilant; it remains to be yet more vigilant. You have been faithful, but fidelity is an active virtue which demands its daily sacrifice, its daily response in energetic service. You have come to your graduation year at a crucial time. The demand for rigid economy is imperative and universal. The forces of public education are on trial as never before. In the field of teaching there will be a weeding out of the unfit and elimination of waste in instruction and administration. To meet the needs of the hour without sacrificing the intellectual and spiritual needs of the children is the problem that challenges your finest efforts. The measure of a life is its service. Sincerely your friend, Harry F. Estill. Page 19

v To the Class of 1932: The future, a somewhat wild and restless steed, awaits your mounting. There are battles to be fought in the interests of humanity and in defence of yourself. Through some fifteen years the preparation for your day has gone steadily forward. There should be few flaws in your armor. Your skill should be well-night perfect. It is yet to be determined whether you are a courageous chevalier or a triumphant Don Juan. Whatever may be your fate, your Alma Mater will watch your progress with a jealous eye, wishing for you all of those deserts which reward the efforts of those who aspire and have the heart to dare. It is my personal desire to see your name among those who have won and have been awarded the palm. Sincerely, J. C. McElhannon, Dean. Polk M. Kenley C. O.
