To the Class of l922 FTER this year you will be teachers rather than pupils, among those who guide rather than those who are guided, for every educated person is by the very fact of her education to some extent a leader. Perhaps no time has had greater need of intelligent and disinterested leadership than the present. As I think of you about to enter upon your professional work, my most earnest wish for you is that you may be among those whose lives are an inspiration to progress. What are the qualities which must characterize you if you are to help humanity forward on the long road from savagery to the city built to music, therefore never built at all, and therefore built forever? You cannot make intelligent decisions for yourselves, much less act as a guide for others, unless your convictions and activities are the outcome of knowledge and of unselfish thought for the interests of society. Never excuse errors in attitude or act of yours by pleading ignorance of conditions. Search out the facts by careful, scholarly inquiry, form your conclu- sions without reference to your own immediate interest or pleasureg wish and work only for those social conditions that will bring welfare to the greatest number of your fellow-men. If in so doing you find yourselves in the minority, unpopular, and numbered among the failures, do not lose faith in your conclusions and courage to follow them out, for a life spent in unselfish work for human progress is successful in the truest sense. ' 1' 4' 'K History's pages but record Our death grapple in the darkness twixt old systems and the VVord' Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne. Yet that scaffold sways the future, and beside the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above His own. 1 Then to side with Truth is noble, when we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and 'tis prosperous to be just' Then it is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside, Doubting in his abject spirit, till his Lord is crucified, And the multitude makes virtue of the faith they had denied. v QA,
