WHAT WOULD you DO WITH A mortar, board

A WORD FROM THE DEAN Soon those of you in this year ' s graduating class will be leaving the lecture rooms and laboratories that have become so familiar over the past four years, and entering upon the practice of the profession for which you have been preparing yourselves. What will you take with you? You will take, of course, some knowledge of the particular branch of engineering you have been studying, and a realization that you have only begun to learn. You will take an appreciation of how to discern and characterize accurately the problems you will face, and how to try to solve them. You will take an appreciation of your fellow man learned in the free-and-easy give-and-take of student life, and in extra-curricular activities of many sorts, which constitute an essential part of academic life. You will take a love of learning for its own sake, and a taste for aspects of life and learning outside the strict confines of your profession. You will take many other things and, in addition, the very best wishes of the staff and our continued interest in your welfare. To those in the Junior Years I should like to quote from an editorial in the January 21st issue of Toike Oike . The other day a friend of ours, who will graduate this year, was telling us how glad he would be to get away from this place. In fact, he had counted the days left in the term. We asked him if he didn ' t think that about a year from now he would look back on Skule days and remember a few things that weren ' t so bad. ' Four years of sweat! ' was his reply. The conversation ended there. But as we went different ways, we couldn ' t help but feel sorry for this poor fellow. For if he had spent four years here, and that was all he had to show for it, he had been short-changed. And the saddest part about it is that this fellow, and those like him, have short-changed themselves. Those are true words, and not at all in conflict with the fact that your central purpose and endeavour must be to achieve academic excellence. As indicated in the remarks I have made to the graduating year, see that you take away when your turn comes something more than academic standing, critically important though that is. r. r.
