A Message from the President Y WORD to all students of the University for the ses- sion of 1920-1921 is this — that sooner or later all of you U must relate yourselves to the work of the world and find your own places therein. The major portion of your value, and certainly the whole of your best value, to your own generation and of your own contentment as well, depend upon the decision you make as to the part each of you is to play. What are you going to do? Lacking such a decision you con- vict yourselves of aimlessness. You are furnishing no focus to your powers. You can not work any synthesis of the elements with which you are dealing. You are losing immeasurably in the value of your daily tasks so long as you do not know to what end they are being performed. It is one of the great functions of the University to assist you in making this choice and to fit you for the duties which your choice involves. Here you can get both general and specific views of life — its needs, its resources, its problems, its opportunities. These four years because of their contacts may be made the most precious, the most fruitful of all your ex- perience, provided that at their close you shall have acquired a definite and intelligent life determination. - r z Page 19
