For several years during the late depression various agencies of pub¬ licity were full of predictions to the effect that there is no longer any place in our economy for trained men. The statement was made time and again that young men were wasting their time attending college and that they might as well resign themselves to the prospect of a pick and shovel job—if indeed they were able to secure that much. For¬ tunately thousands of young men refused to be misled by this propa¬ ganda and by their actions proved themselves much wiser in many ways than their elders. Industry at the present time is calling for technically trained men. Literally thousands of involved problems are calling for solution and that solution involves the services of men trained to think. The solu¬ tion of these problems will tax the best efforts and the highest resources of the men of the coming generation and will enlist the best efforts of the young men of today upon whose shoulders will fall the responsibility of solving them. Young men completing technical courses today in any line whatever are to be congratulated upon the fact that they come into positions of responsibility at a time when so much is to be done. The members of the 1937 graduating class of Tri-State College will find work awaiting them—work that is worthwhile—and it will call forth their best efforts. We, who know them so well, are proud of them and are certain of their ability to faithfully discharge their obligation. We present to them our best wishes as they go forth to do and to conquer. BURTON HANDY, President. Eleven
