YPT THE GUVER tilt To THE STUDENTS or THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA! The people of the state of Nebraska have been generous in their support of our public institutions of learning. Our state university is nearly as old as the state itself, having been established only two years after Nebraska's admis- sion to the union. The citizens of this state are convinced that an enlightened citizenry is essential to the preserva- tion of our democratic form of government. Citizenship in our state is not a privilege only. It is also a grave responsibility, the carrying out of which calls for patriotism, loyalty and enlightenment, .Which attributes should he among the products of our educational institutions. lt is a happy fact that the university has discharged its function over the years in such a way as to serve the people of the state, and to justify their faith in it and in higher education iself. It is my pleasure to extend, for myself and on behalf of the people of the state, congratulations to the graduates of the class of 1940. The university is held in high esteem by its patrons, the citizens of Nebraska. lt is their con- fident hope that the young men and women leaving the university to undertake their lifeas work will, by their achievements, and by their devotion to the larger responsi- bilities of democratic citizenship, justify in full measure the maintenance of this institution. R. L. COCHRAN, Governor PII' 9 1
