Education Just Beginning The term Commencement is well used to express the general program connected with the completion of a course of study. It is possibly true that some young people, obtaining that objective, feel that they have finished their education and are ready to go forth into the world to do and to conquer. In the great majority of cases, however, we are quite sure that young people realize that the completion of a set course of study is but the beginning of their education. After being inducted into a position they find in many cases that their previous training has been but a fore-taste of the work they will need to do in order to master the details of their job. Probably the average engineer works as hard if not harder after he secures a place than he did while in school. Fortunately opportunities for contin¬ ued training after entrance into a position are many and widespread. Public libraries are available in which magazines and books are found, dealing with every conceivable subject. Many times courses in indu strial training are promoted by companies for the benefit of their employees. Surely in this day, no one may plead a lack of opportu¬ nity as a reason for a failure to continue to study and learn after leaving school. A great many young men will be com¬ pleting courses at Tri-State College during the next few weeks and will receive diplo¬ ma and degree certifying that they have finished the curriculum of studies laid down. We hope that each one may realize his ambition to secure a place of work that will offer opportunities for advancement. These opportunities will most certainly en¬ tail a continuation of study and research. Many times the degree in which the young man takes advantage of this opportunity for study will measure his success and his advancement in his chosen line. We wish for the young people making up the class of 1940 all success possible. BURTON HANDY, President Fifteen
