In s H ,sf , he -5--'-1v..+er H 5 Us 9 f 'I O MY DEAR FRIENDS or THE CLASS or 1930: y Some one has cynically suggested that if we wish to make a parody H ' on Browning's Pippa Passes , we could say not All's right with the l ki T world , but Allis riot with the world. 'i I . One thing is certain: nothing is static. Everything is in motion. l Politics, industry, economics, government--all these are receiving new l interpretations. Education is also meeting the challenge of unprecedented y 9 l demands. Teaching is having to adjust itself to conditions it has never , ' before confronted. 3 T , H I very sincerely trust that out of all you have seen and heard and W 'Q studied and learned in the pursuit of your training at Temple a few V? ' facts clearly emerge: The teacher of tomorrow must have a technique and a ' i skill, a mentality and personality not inferior to those demanded by any 1 'j other profession. Many indeed are called but few are chosen. He must V know that his supreme mission is to bring to his pupils not subject-matter but life-abounding life. He must realize that education for him as well ' T T as for them is not so much information as an attitude, a veritable philos- X- ' y ophy of life, and that like life itself, it is ideally a process of continuous p 5 and uninterrupted development. He must not fail to apprehend that v ll there are no short circuits to final goals of worthy endeavor and that lf. W. education in school or out of school is an empty shell if it fails to impart ' , to either the teacher or those taught a proper sense of abiding and eternal ' l values. V ii The best of all books puts it tersely: f'Where there is no vision, the T llf H people perish , and again Wisdom is the principal thing: therefore get 7 wisdom, and with all thy getting get understanding. H You now go forth to 6 1 T your several fields of high opportunity and strenuous endeavor. It is p i j my earnest wish that you carry to them a vision that with experience h l will ripen into wisdom and will enable you as ambassadors of Temple to ll render a service ennobled by a true understanding. Good-bye and 5 T H I buen viaje! Sincerely, Q T T' f ' . i Dean, Teachers College. T ' ,QI 21 Ig..

,E-Q. . W ,, 'Q . Nagy. v gf N-iii-' L' y N, TO THE CLASS or 1930: 4 You have made many friends during your college course. The Founder frequently said, c'Once a friend, always a friend. The basis of all true friendship is sacrifice. One or two conversations do not make a friend. Friendship is a slow and steady growth. When a friend is won through sacrifice, the bond is eternal. He would be a wretch indeed, who would be untrue to one who had stood by him in a time of need. The member of a family who turns his back upon the family circle is doing violence to the most sacred form of friendship. Hold fast to the everlasting friendships of the home. Next to these are your friends in university life. You have advanced together in an institution where your sacri- Hces have been and where the sacrifice of the Founder is our most precious heritage. Dr. Conwell had thousands of friends. He won the friendship of President Beury. All of Conwellls friends are Beury's friends. Once a friend, always a friendn is the rock foundation on which great works are builded. The rains and the floods and the winds of human passion, greed and envy, beating against this rock lose their power. LY our Alma Mater is your friend and always your friend. Sincerely, Dean, Schoolzof Commerce. y . ii if il, in Y if l X L' 1 y 5 Q. i J ii. N . Y eeee . .441 23 Ip.,
