That is life-it should be happy. i And happiness lies in accomplishment, the gratification that comes from wanting to do something and actually doing it. There may be any amount of fun on the side, but to get anything worth while out of life there must be a real purpose 3 . , underneath, and a real exercise of the faculties for its accomplishment.

It is a serious responsibility. Your method of dealing with them will do much to make or mar their characters, and may definitely affect their lives as men, as citizens, and as fellow members of the race. Give this some thought. It is likely to be vital to your success as officers. Develop your qualities for leadership of men, and enjoy the gratifica- tion that comes from their successful use.

Coast Giztcrcl Academy: GENTLEMEN : The Commandant and all other officers of the Service are distinctly proud of the Coast Guard Academy-proud, not only of its curriculum and discipline, but, in a very special sense, of the high standards of honor and conduct which have always animated the cadet body. You are entering the Coast Guard as commissioned officers at a time when a degree of responsibility and corresponding opportunity quite unusual for young officers will be placed upon you. You will, of course, welcome your responsi- bilities and opportunities and you will best succeed if you keep always before you the high ideals of loyalty, devotion to duty, and exemplary conduct that have been so firinlypgestablislied by the long line of officers who have preceded you during the 186 years of the history of the Service. gi cz 5 1' E' f T L 17 44 are 6.2 7 Cn it Y f All nv f1l ll,, - -- 4 Based on my associations with many officers during my Service career, may Al f I advise you that your most satisfying happiness will be found in an unswerving ,tl devotion to duty and to the best interests of the Coast Guard. . e 1 I welcome you into the fellowship of commissioned officers and wish you all 5 ' success and happiness. i' Cordially yours, A l .
