Your exit from the academic quiet ot these cloistered halls is made at a time when one oi the great tasks ot enlightened mankind is to maintain the permanence of that culture for which'so much is now being sacrificed on the battle-fields by your own generation. lt must be your high purpose to assume that responsibility and to bring truth into the service oi humanity. Never has there been a time when Western's heraldic ideal has been a more appropriate guide for her alumni. Veritas et utilitas. Congratulations on your success so tarp and Godspeed. ior the future.
