mi. V WZ? Teo oTxly friends, 7e ie Students: The events of 1926-1927 are now matters of history, but I trust that many experiences of the year will enrich your future life and furnish material for delightful reflections. 1 cherish also the hope that you will forget the worst of your college days, and pattern your life after those high ideals which you helped to fashion. Three cardinal virtues distinguish the graduates of every college worthy of the name—capacity for friendships, ability to distinguish the true from the false, and willingness to serve. Friendships have inspired the poet’s pen, the artist’s brush, and the sculptor’s chisel. They have prompted heroic sacrifices in life’s most trying moments, and they have glorified the walks of the most humble traveler. Long after you have forgotten much of the subject matter learned in your textbooks, memory will be rich in its heritage of the friendships formed during your college days. Your college training should have developed in you the ability to dis¬ tinguish the true from the false, and the desire to follow your nobler impulses. Error is always costly; correct judgments not only inspire confidence, but lead to more immediate success. Be steadfast in your purpose, unwavering in your ambition, and loyal always to your best self. The desire to serve is not only altruistic in its purpose, but the willingness to make the world better than you found it will earn for you the largest dividends on the life you have to invest. The glory of achievement has no richer reward than the satisfaction which comes through the realization of a life well spent in service to humanity. Your Alma Mater believes in you, and will follow your career with a mother’s care. College Heights” should not only be sacred to your memory, but should keep the spirit of the institution ever by your side as a guide. Sincerely yours, % 7-u 7V (prvPc? Twenty-two
