DEAN OF MEN Never before has there been such expansion of industry; such com- plex political problems; such diversity of opinion in the larger social adjustments; such advancement in applied science; such demand upon intelligence and character. Young man, the world is waiting for you to bring a superior intelli- gence and an unquestioned character, both superbly developed, by a long period of discriminative effort upon your part, by the skilled training of College and University and by an appreciative understanding of the great seething world outside of school.
