The CHANCELLOR Greetings to Students and fllumni: The University has three great objec- tives: to stimulate creative power through organized study, to seek knowledge in new fields through or- ganized research, and to apply such knowledge in building a better com- monwealth. fl university is a vast storehouse of knowledge represented by libraries filled with historic lore, by laboratories and equipment with which to demon- strate the laws of matter, and by a dis- tinguished faculty proficient in a wide range of human knowledge. The moulding of a student in his uni- versity course results from human con- tacts with teachers, friends, and com- panions, and from their personalities. The Cornhusker ■ dent expression of the inspiration of represents the stu- the aspirations of the University. It is the student pulse stressing activities rather than class- room achievements. The University is a service institution. It promotes business and enterprise. It seeks to reach every fireside with its message of helpfulness and greater ef- ficiency, fls a constructive force in the young manhood and womanhood of Nebraska it makes for individual suc- cess and for civic progress. Sincerely, PROFESSOR R. P. CRAWFORD Assistant to the Chancellor JJ WdiXA

The GOVERNOR To the Studcn ' .s of tlie University: The value, of flmerican Education and its contribution to the development of our democracy is found in the initia- tive of the individual as well also as in the acceptance of responsibility by the state and its political subdivisions. The state of Nebraska as well as its local subdivisions have recognized and accepted this responsibility for the past sixty-nine years, since our state was admitted to the Union. Nebraska, a state normally rich in agricultural products, yet at times hard hit by drought, the ravages of floods, and by periods of low farm prices, has not only maintained the high standards of the State University but has in the face of adverse conditions provided for a constantly increased enrollment. The success of the University in the future, as in the past, is dependent upon a high standard of students, an able ad- ministration as well as provision for a properly selected curriculum of social and vocational studies to meet present day needs. My congratulations to the University of which I am proud to be an alumnus. Sincerely,

I congratulate you upon your ability to overcome the ob- stacles of one kind or another that must have beset your pathway. Many of you have endured real hardships. Many of you have also displayed a restiveness that betokens ambitions and aspira- tions. I hope that from your experiences you have learned to exercise tolerance, to examine your prejudices, and to seek after truth. 1 hope, too, that you have accumulated an appreciable amount of factual knowledge, that you have in some measure developed a capacity to think, and that you have acquired cer- tain desirable disciplines of the mind. If you have done these things, end have in addition become acquainted with your teachers and formed fast friendships among your associates, ! feel that the time you have spent here has not been in vain. Surely, no one would venture to predict what the fu- ture holds in store for you. But of one thing 1 am sure, that being into what- soever situation such a student of the University of Nebraska may come, he may be depended upon to give a good account of himself. I salute you and bid you God speed! Yours Sincerely,
