t a o. HERE is a very definite message that I want to give to the Class of 1926, and that is : Accept with eager heart every opportunity for assuming responsibility. In last year ' s Annual Miss Goodrich said, Those will lie turned to for leadership whose experience has been the richest. Ri ch experience does not come fast in work in which little is expected of one. Side-steppers who shirk burden-bearing, who do not want lo be held responsible for their own or other ' s work, who fear criticism and being called to account for manv details, are missing half of the joy of life and are cheating themselves of their own heritage. So go out to meet responsibility and welcome it. and then be equal to it. Even the one who feels herself the most unready can begin by taking her place and part on committees. Volunteer work of all sorts is splendid training for leadership. With your alumnae, in your church, in any group be one of those that can be relied upon. There, as in professional work, depend- ability leads to more and more responsibility and with respon- sibility comes fullness of life. Major Julia C.
