There is every indication that out of the uncertainty of recent trying years there has come a hopeful tendency toward normal times. S Time-honored traditions are being shattered, the illusions of yesterday have become the delusions of today. A re- appraisal of values is resulting in the establishment of new standards g the practical application of new theories has replaced the discarded fallacies of the past. In this impending period of recovery and reconstruction, leadership will be an essential prerequisite of ultimate success. In this respect the college-trained young man or woman will have the greater advantage. You are going out into the World at a time that is fraught with illimitable opportunities for Service. This, after all, is the true keynote of Success. In this new scheme of things each of you will have your place, for you are among the reserves of the nation's brain- power, to be drawn upon in great crises, and I am confident that the Temple University graduate will play no incon- spicuous part in bringing about a readjustment. In your own individual way, whether this be great or small, you can be of service. To the task I commend you, and wish you all Godspeed! MQ J.

x'-'fi-bl i . 'I elumillgff 1 ai 1 PRESIDENT CHARLES E. B HAT will happen to Temple when Dr. Conwell dies? was the question upon many tongues. During the last years of his life he was frequently urged to bring in a man as an understudy. a man whom he could train to carry on after him. But. he would not. It was an evidence ol' the strong faith that was in him. No, was always his reply. I shall never attempt to pick my successor. The Lord will bring forward the man when need of him coniesf' And he did. Like Conwc-ll's own Acres of Diamonds, he was in Temple's dooryard all the time. Charles E. Beury assumed his duties President of Temple University seven years ago. Previous to that time he had served on the Board of Trustees for thirteen years. A graduate of Princeton and of Harvard Law School. he brought with him to Temple a line legal mind with remarkable analytical powers, trained to separate and arrange facts in order and keep them within easy reach for immediate use when necessary. He gave up an honored career at the bar, probably a judgeship, for he has a judicial mind. He has had to sacrifice leisure and personal pleasures, substituting manifold worries of every description and nerve-racking confinement to work. As the years have rolled on, the value of Dr. Beury to this University has become more and more apparent. His shrewd observations, constructive criticism, and quiet, hard-working manner have brought phenomenal results in higher standards, better teaching, and the Hnest of equipment and buildings. No thought for himself, he has been willing to give his all for the nurture and development of another man,s child. because he has a vision that is as large as the one Dr. Conwell possessed. He has given all during the past seven years of his life, but he still has many years of service before him. There is a twinkle in his eye which indicates that he is decidedly human. He enjoys people. VVhile not effusive, he likes to make new friends. His affable manner draws them to him by hundreds, but when he talks, one readily sees that he knows whereof he speaks, and that he gives careful thought to his expression. Day and night Dr. Beury has worked to realize the dreams of Temp1e's founder. His remarkable success is proof that he is imbued with the spirit of Conwell, and that he is the chosen instrument of Conwell's God. Pag

.f 5'g1f f,N KI t From the Facult To Turn Gu.-xmwrics or 1933: You have selected for your dedicatory theme for this year's Templar the progress and development of Alma Mater. No other choice could be more appro- priate. None could more thoroughly challenge our thoughtful consideration. None could more easily evoke our uust.int.ed admiration. Your four years at Temple have been peculiarly fortunate. You have seenilher physical slruc-lure enlarged and beautilied. A modern stage has been set for Arabian nights! Home real .Xladdin has rubbed his lamp, and we have new buildings for old. You have witnessed, as well, the ever-increasing spread of Templeis social influence. She has touched dynamically every phase of life within the far-flung expanse ol' her activities. You have observed, also. that in the intellectual realm Temple has gained be- yond reasonable expectation. Her academic and professional standards have Won wide recognition. ller faculties have contributed to the orderly march of science and letters. and have left research the richer and more productive for their partici- pation in it. Nor have you been oblivious of the fact that Temple's progress has not been merely physical and academic. You have not. escaped the friendly touch of her idealism. You have been in a very vital sense the beneficiaries of her sympathy, her desire to serve. her keen solieitude for your happiness and your success. Alma Mater is in deed. as well as in name, a kindly mother. And, best of all. your enterprise of the four years now closing has been co- operative in its nature. Your own development has kept pace with that of the l'niversity. liar-h has given much to the other. You have often heard that any institution is only the lengthened shadow of a great. man. So can we say by analogy that a college or university hasks in the reflected lustre of its graduates. Certainly it can rise no higher than the level of their genius. Thus it is that at the end of four years you leave us not merely as our graduates, --you are no less our ambassadors. You have partaken in our development: by the law of compensation we shall share in your success. A friendship of four years will be prolonged to a partnership of indefinite duration. The hopes and good-will with which you were greeted as freshmen now follow you as alumni. The Temple of Conwell and Beury wishes you Godspeed and gives you a final toast-one for all and all for one!
