Governor Case’s Message When a great general declared that the Battle of Waterloo was won on the cricket field at Eton, he recorded, in a picturesque manner, a truth which many learn too late; the truth that the victory of life was won, not on the fields where the decisive struggle occurs, but in the forgotten hours of preparation. Success or failure lies in our hands long before the hour of final test comes. Knowledge can not be gained on short notice, except by the person whose mind is already well stocked; a particular skill can be acquired rapidly only by the person who has trained all his faculties. In the higher fields of success there are no accidents; men and women reap precisely what they have sown ; they do well what they have prepared to do. This preparation is often unconscious. The larger and deeper part of preparation for the greater experiences and works of life is always unconscious. We do not real- ize when we are making ourselves strong, rich and powerful in resource and char- acter. Nothing is lost on the person who is bent upon growth ; nothing wasted on one who is always preparing for his work and his life by keeping his eyes, mind and heart open to nature, books and experience . One of the functions of our Rhode Island State College is to build strong men and women ; men and women who will be a true force in the world. The State has been liberal in an effort to supply needs to that end. I congratulate members of the Class of ’29 upon attaining that prized goal which fits them for the larger duties of life. Rhode Island appreciates the efforts of President Edwards and his associates in their earnest labor. Through their efforts, supported by our General Assembly. Rhode Island State College is keeping abreast of the times. The new library, engineering building, auditorium and gymnasium are gifts from generous people in recognition of student loyalty, interest and determination. Norman S. Case Governor Providence, R. I., April 24, 1929. Nineteen
