THE EAGLE PRESIDENT LYTLE'S MESSAGE TO CLASS OF '26 I The wants of the ignorant are extremely sim' - ple and can be expressed in terms of the . i jg ZVA fr -r i physical. The wants of enlightened man are 'I if extremely complicated and are largely mental or spiritual. As the student becomes better 'B educated we see a gradual increase in his wants, a keener desire for the association of cultured people, a greater incentive to delve into the mysteries of nature, striving to interpret the true meaning of loyalty, courage, sportsmanship, honor, and a myriad of other metaphysical qualities which he has acquired in part, and enjoying this part, seeks complete understanding to gain perfect enjoyf ment. To gain a full estimate of how we value our present knowledge one has but to ask himself how destitute he would feel if he were forced to give up even half of what he knows of things spiritual: if he were asked to give up half of his loyalty, his courage, his appreciation of the beautiful, half of his knowledge of art, music, and literature. I am sure no one would wish to take such a backward step. I feel that the students of the Pittsburgh Academy have gained this year not only an accumulation of the facts necessary to justify their graduation but they have gained in education sufficiently to see ahead to more and greater wants. Do not curb these greater desires but strive more, study further, that you may enjoy completely the finest things of life. HERBERT G. LYTLE THE PITTSBURGH ACADEMY Ten N I
