To the Class of 1932, Greelings! You are a fortunate class. You are entering the world of men and women when it most needs you. lt needs your vigor, your optimism. and your idealism. Therein lies your good fortune: you possess what the world about you needs. The world needs your vigor. It is weary with disillusionment. lt has been disillusioned of false prosperity born of war. lt is now reckoning the cost of inertnecine strife. lt has found that the machinery of progress cannot run at top speed always: that there must be a compensating lull, or the machinery of progress will race to its own destruction. The world needs your vigor to recuperate, to win hack to a sane, temperate state of well-being. The world needs your optimism. It is disheartened in its task of trying to clear the path between well-nigh boundless material resources on the one hand and the man's urgent needs on the other. It needs your optimism to get a true perspec- tive of its task and to break down the man-made barrier between supply and demand. The world needs your idealism. It has become somewhat sordid and material- istic. The fabric of its political, social, and economic life needs the weft-fiber of your sturdy idealism to withstand the renting forces of evasion, duplicity, and callous materialism, You have it within your power to give to the world what it needs, not as a gift parted without right, but as a benefaction shared. You are indeed fortunate. Will you share with the world your good fortune? p JOHN E. SHAMBACH. Most of us do not realize all that the inexorable passing of time means. We do not realize that time passed is time gone forever. Or, if realizing, we seem to care not. May you learn to cherish time for the precious opportunities it offers for the fulnllment of your dreams. T have written the following with the hope that you will read it thoughtfully and with consideration. An hour? 'Tis but the accumulated tickings of the clock. A day? 'Tis just the span from sun to sun. A year? 'Tis only sowing until sowing. A life? Ah! That's a haven lost or won. You have my sfncere wlshes for a glorious future. VV1L1.ARi: E. AcKL1-:Y. 715493562
