President’s Message The experience of the past has shown that there is no sure way of preparing for the future. If one choses a narrow and specialized line of work, a new development of science or change in the social or political system may leave this line with little or no recognition. If, however, there continues a demand in this particular field, the one who has gone farthest in his specialization will reap the greatest reward in both accomplishment and recognition and probably in personal satisfaction. In a rapidly changing world it would seem that one should be well grounded in several lines and have developed the ability to adapt his talents to the demands of the time. To this end many argue for a general education, one which gives sufficient foundation in facts and training to enable the possessor to move forward in any one of a number of directions. To most men the satisfaction of living comes not entirely from their profession or major line of work, but partly as a result of a certain richness of understanding and appreciation of nature, art, literature, and the values of human society, which is based on a well-grounded general education. Many things work together to enable one to develop a general philosophy which makes life worth living. After all, many of the factors in each man’s existence are either fixed or beyond his control, and that person is most successful who can maintain his contructive individuality and at the same time bring himself into harmony with the things which must be done. I can conceive of no man who would not be improved by four years of study such as is offered in a modern university. This does not mean that those who have degrees arc essentially better than those who do not, but that the same individual will be helped by this training. In our university we hope the academic and the social, athletic, and general activity program will work together to produce an individual with broad, general interests, who can contribute to the society in which he finds himself and maintain a hopeful and helpful relationship to the social, economic, and political changes of the years to come.
