WALTER HULLIHEN, Ph.D., D.C.L., LL.D. President of the University of Delaware WHAT TO SEEK IN A COLLEGE EDUCATION I THINK should sum up my conception of the true objectives of a college education in vary much the same words used once before in an issue of the Blue Hen. No man is really educated who does not keep before his mind throughout his college course the values that are to be found in it apart from the mere mastery of technical subjects and the ultimate securing of a diploma. Preparation for making a living is important. Preparation for making a life iz more important, And so say to you again: If you can gain enough of information, in the various fields of knewledge you touch, to form the basis of reasoned judgments: If you can find, thraugh the discipline of infense application, the power o set yourself to any preblem and think it through: It you can discover, in what you study, some of the standards by which to differentiate that which is true from that which is false; If you can give yourself in generous friendships and learn the graciousness of courtesy in your contacts with those about you: you can discern beauty and truth alike in the cold facts of science and in the poet's line; If you can learn, as another has said, to esteam wealth chiefly far the service it can render and power for the help it can give: If you can mold your course in college to the attainment of objectives such as thesebefere you, when you lsave these halls, will lie the Open Road that will lead you on to success and to the abundant life, Faithtully yours, WALTER HULLIHEN, FH i T R T LR AT v o A WL 8 B T IR K SF T TR TR TR TP ST e S T PN RS PdE ST LAiE N T S T LE L e e T, WS e Al e W 5 e 5 T, e T IE ST I 4 EF SN 1 L B 3 P .... 1k I L TR T S AT S S T Y e R ST T AT W e R SR RS T LR l.- T R P era ar - FOEE LYW T D T W BT 2t T AR R SRR SRS e BT T R T

am e g - L T PP S e . o i T A R T L i B P o i P b i L R . R ARTHUR G. WILKINSOM Business Administrator BEST WISHES FOR THE FUTURE IN extending my best wishes to the Class of 1933 for a successful future, I would like to pass on a word of encouragement. We have been passing through a time of depres- sion and it has been a financial strain on most of you and your parents to mafe it possible to reach the gaar of graduation, I feel, however, that conditions are irnprnv- ing and that there will be a place for every graduate. My advice would be to accept any position offered as it has been proven that a man who is already working has a better chance than the one who is waiting for his ideal to open up. Prosperous time must come again for our country. It is, therefore, my hope that the graduates of 1933 will find themselves starting out on the new era o rosperity. I has been a real pleasure to know you all and I hope each member of the class will continue their deep interest in their Alma Mater, becoma identified with the Alumni Association and help build the institution with which they have been affiliated for the past four years, and of which they can become a vital part. Sincerely yours, ARTHUR G, WILEINSOM. 24
