®l)f IFuturr Since we ha e become a part of one of the great universities of the world, many questions have been asked concerning our future. Yet there ought to be no question except the honest doubt of our immediate ability to undertaice the responsibilities at hand. The pledge of our University is the promise of this great commonwealth, Let there be light. And in the fulfillment of this obligation California is willingly expending many millions of dollars to maintain an institution that serves one of the largest of student bodies. The pledge is now our standard for us to carry forward. Rather, then, than building castles in Spain our task is to frankly ask ourselves wherein is our strength. Our organization is very like the organization of other universities, so wherein they have proved their strength we can measure ours. Three things make a university strong: First, the faculty — that body of men and women, earnest, strong, willing, that brings guidance and inspiration to university halls and by their combined effort set the heart of youth in flame ; second, the student body — that group of men and women, earnest, per- sistent, seeking, that in its turn brings inspiration to the faculty and gathering the elements of preparation for life, carries on to make more free the life of the commonwealth ; third, the alumni — that body of men and women (it seems rather that this group should be in the second class), trained, earnest, with a continuing interest in the standard. Buildings, libraries, wealth, laboratories or numbers are of secondary importance. Those who have been entrusted with the development of our University are seeing to it that we have the best faculty possible — you students this year have most successfully accomplished what you have undertaken — we all expect that as you go from these halls you will have that continuing interest which will keep you a part of the organization. So the future is with us. It will be great in proportion as we are strong. Cloyd H. IM.4RVIX. 10

Dr. Jesse F. Millspaugh Blessed are the souls that have been faithful to the heavenly vision, blessed both in this world and in the life to come. His contribution to the enrichment of the spiritual and the material life of a great school are exponents of his un- selfishness. He did not live to see his hope entirely fulfilled. Moses- like, he climbed the mountain and gazed upon the promised land, a goodly land upon which the teaching company he held so dear is about to en ter: but the Lord took him from us. 12
