Glorious as has been the heritage left us by the Founder; today, more than at any other time in Temple’s history, it stands out as a sacred trust, imposed upon all of Temple’s sons and daughters, to do their full share towards bringing about a realization of his most cherished hopes. This you may do, as alumni of Temple University, by fostering a spirit of loyalty and co-operation among your classmates. Great projects arc under way for the future development of your beloved Alma Mater. The year 1929 has seen the dedication of an imposing new building, and the completion of plans for the magnificent “Temple of Learning” worthy of the Founder. Academically, equally important forward strides have been taken by Temple University. Out of this will come enhanced prestige, and the greater glory of Temple will be reflected upon you, one and all. Each of you, as members of the Class of 1929, will share in these dividends of acknowledged achievement, and thus will you he better equipped than your predecessors to face the future. It is with a feeling of keen personal pride, therefore, that I extend felicitations to the Class of 1929, at a time when the most hopeful dreams of Temple’s future see possible of complete fulfillment. Yours sincerely, President. imiiinnmnimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiniiiinmiiiiiniiiiinniiiiimiuiiniiiimniiniiiiiiimniniinnmii» Twenty-three uiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiimiiHiiiiiiiiiiiinniiiiniiniiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiitiiiiiiniHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiifiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiinMMiiHiiimiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiMiiiiip

 •iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii !IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1II!IIII1IIIIIIIIIIIII» To the Class of 1929: What can I say to you as you go out to take your place in this world of ours,—to my generation a world very much changed since we came into itr I cannot ask you to accept my opinions or my decisions upon a great variety of things. I can only ask you to keep an open mind, to be sure you have heard all the evidence before you change the standards that my generation has set up or that we inherited from an earlier generation. Remember that it is a changing world. If your years in college have been worth anything to you they should have so trained your minds that you do know how to get at facts, what value to give to research that has not yet been brought to a successful conclusion, to suspend judgment until all the evidence is in and to make your own conclusions, always ready to modify them when new evidence is produced. The greatest asset your college life can have given you is a trained mind, brave enough to stand by its own decisions. The generation of which you are a part is yours, mine can only wish for you that you will make it one carrying mankind a step forward to the light of a better day when all can share in a world at peace, prosperous and happy.
