m: m ii n i Persons who concern themselves professionally with alleviating physical distress, of whatever character, are more than agents of mercy in this complex world. They are the engineers and production managers who keep our modern civilization functioning at a high level of efficiency. They know that the world's work will be better done if those who ore busy with it con be kept healthy in mind and body. You who are being graduated from the School of Chiropody have a place in this large and highly diversified company. You hove chosen a field of human need which you ore going to serve, you have completed the training which will fit you for that task, you are emerging now to assume the duties that await you. As you undertake your work, I hope you will do so with a consciousness of its importance. Realizing its importance, you will put into it, then, all of the skill and talent that native ability and University training have given to you. And if you do that, you v ill not have to concern yourself too much about the rewards, tor the world has a way of serving the individual just about as generously and as well as he serves it. We here at the University shall always hear of your individual successes with pride and pleasure, and as your University president I wish you all the happiness that comes from the pursuit of a useful career. 6 ROBERT L. JOHNSON
