PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE The basic principle of advancing society is intelligence in those who follow as well as in those who lead. The social struc¬ ture of many of the civilized nations is in deep trouble. There is uncertainty and anxiety among the leaders and confusion among the followers. Tremendous problems of human welfare clamor for solution. Greed and selfishness have all but destroyed the sccial and econcmic structure—a structure built through the centuries upon the unselfish sacrifices and devoted labors of far- seeing and patriotic men and wcmen. Conflicting forces in social and economic thought and action have brought America to its present unsettled, unhappy, and unwholesome state. We of an older generation witnessed the great world struggle from 1914 to 1918, when a majority of the men of civilized nations were engaged in a suicidal struggle that shook civilization to its very foundations. We witnessed the sowing to the winds. We sowed to the winds hate, jealousy, avarice, and ill-will. We are now witnessing the harvest cf the whirlwinds. Man, created to occupy a high plane, was dragged down into the gutters of pestilence, suffering, and death. Happily for you of the Class of 1937, the picture is changing for the better. Under patriotic and unselfish leaders the social and econcmic forces are getting their bearings and the followers are becoming more familiar with the basic and fundamental problems with which they must deal. Yet there remains much to be done before America regains her balance. Questions of human welfare, of economic security, of social satisfactions, must be solved. The American people will never again be content until these problems are solved in the interest of the masses of our people and in a manner that will conserve the largest human values. The State has said that only free men shall be educated, but a higher authority has said that only educated men shall be free ; therefore the greatest responsibility that rests upon you as educated men, is to keep the spirit of inguiry in your own life alive; to expand and extend your own intellectual interests; to broaden your mental horizons; to intensify your zeal for knowledge and wisdom; and to use your intellect, energies, and influence in a purposeful endeavor to spread knowledge among your fol¬ lowers. These are the tasks that you shall have an opportunity to perform. Large though they are, they contain within them the appeal that should and undoubtedly will call into play your talent, abilities, and energies in full force. America needs intelligent leadership in every phase of human endeavor. It needs intelligent followers. With leaders actuated by the highest motives, fortified by an unblemished character, and sustained by knowledge and wisdom, the tasks of readjusting our social and economic structure will be relatively easy. You have undoubtedly gained the necessary knowledge which may be used as working tools with which to make your con¬ tribution to the rebuilding of American life upon a broader, more comprehensive, and a more just and solid foundation than the life that Americans have known during the last half century. We bid you Gcd Speed as you turn away from the walls of this institution to the newer tasks that challenge you to give your best. T. O. WALTON President 09 557

THE COMMANDANT COL. F. G. ANDERSON The task of directing the lives of more than four thousand young men of today is vested in the Office of the Commandant of Cadets, and is a task which often proves itself to be a perplexing and difficult undertaking. The Commandant, Col. Frank G. Anderson, certainly has the welfare of the students at heart, and is doing all he can to make the College a place where discipline is effective and is practiced. The Commandant places certain duties and responsibilities on dependable students and thus develops leadership and assurance in all the members of the student body who later go out to make the Reserve Officers. Night Sergeants, guards, and all other policing agencies of the campus have their head- guarters in this Office. Care of the dormitories, needs of the students, and dissemination of information is taken care of by the Commandant and the staff of clerks.
