President ' s Message To the members of the Class of 1917 and the readers of El Rodeo I extend cordial greetings. Scarcely does the ink get dry on one edition of El Rodeo until another is coming from the press ; thus it seems, at least, because of the very busy world in which we live. Men and women who have spent three years or more in intensive study under the guidance and leadership of faculty specialists ought to have attained to a fair degree of scholarship. The world has a right to expect this of you, and it will hold you responsible for a type of service, both in quality and efficiency, commensurate with your opportunities. It is the business of the University to train men to think and to act, and in these days we need men who will think and act for the right. Someone has said, The scholar is the sensitive barometer which first feels the lowered pressure of neglected duty, the first warning of the coming storm. The warn- ing he gives his neighbors may not be received with favor ; but that is not his concern ; he is not asking for favors. His business is the truth and the appli- cation of the truth to the affairs of our race. I appeal to you in the name of the University that you do your full share of the thinking and acting in this time of the world ' s greatest crisis. Wise leadership is the crying need. Ig- norant and blind leadership will surely result in disaster, and if college men and women do not come forth in the world ' s emergency and supply the need, then they must bear the responsibility of the disastrous consequences ; for the clear-headed, uncompromising wisdom essential to effective leadership is the birthright of the educated man. In the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail. Nevertheless in college and out of college we meet many disappointing facts. But disap- pointing facts need not lead to discouraging conclusions. Caleb and Jeshua saw the same disappointing facts that were seen by the other ten spies, but they concluded differently because they included differently. The ten faced the situation by themselves, the two faced it with God. The ten judged God in sight of their difficulties, and said, It cannot be done. The two judged the difficulties in the sight of God, and said, We are able. Let the odds be against us, and obstacles seem insurmountable ; we have but to include the Almighty in faith, and ourselves in fidelity, and let God draw conclusions. He shall not fail, nor be discouraged, is the divine intention concerning every one of us. George F. Bovard. UMIERSITY Page 15
