To the Class of 1920: I wonder if you fully appreciate your inherited right to designate this number of El Rodeo, The Victory Number? We can speak the word Victory lightly, flippantly, and be none the stronger because of its use. This word has in it a depth of meaning, a richness of joy and hopefulness never known in the world before. I call your attention to the sacrifices made, in which the University of Southern California had an honorable share, in order that you may draw to yourselves some lessons of helpfulness in your relation to the work of bringing to full fruition the hopes planted in the heart of humanity by the great victory won at such an incomparable cost. We cannot think seriously and continuously for one hour, upon the price paid for the victory, without having a changed attitude toward the problems of life. No man hereafter can retain a good conscience and live a selfish life. The facts of recent years are so impelling and so insistent that they must have largely to do with shaping our plans and future pur- poses. If a man is to gain strength of purpose he must have a keen sense of personal responsibility and a right attitude toward duty. It is a great and glorious privilege to live in this day of victory when both local and world conditions combine in a gigantic challenge to the best that is in us. It is not too much to expect the class of 1920 to furnish its share of sane leadership in the world ' s reconstruction. I put emphasis upon the word sane, because it is the key word that differentiates the quality of leadership the world has a right to expect from college trained men and women, from that other sort of leadership of the mushroom type. The strong man is he who can summon all of his attributes of power into loyal unity of action. Personality is the name men give to this unity. Pin-jfose is the organizing principle. It is only as the many groups of thought and feeling are trained into co-operation by a well considered, steadfast purpose that a man can become master of him- self, — and without this self-mastery effective leadership is impossible. W e covet for the students of the University of Southern California such a clear vision of the world ' s needs in this crucial hour, that the vision may impel them to put forth the greatest possible effort in preparation to perform their part in the upbuilding process. The recent victory of the University in its campaign to raise one million dollars for endowment and eciuipment, which was exceeded by more than two hundred thousand, will greatly add to the efficiency of all lines of work. The Trustees, encouraged by the victory achieved, have ordered another campaign to raise a million dollars for new buildings. The architect, Mr. John Parkinson, has been directed to prepare, immediately, plans for the chief building of a group to be erected on the block adjoining the old campus on the south. It is con- fidently hoped that we shall be able to break ground before Com- mencement Day. With enlarged endowment, new Iniildings and equip- ment, the University will be more nearly able to meet the needs of Southern California. In all of its work I bespeak your hearty co-operation. George F. Bovard, President.
