PHILIP F. LA FOLLETTE WISCONSIN has a world-wide reputation for constructive social and economic leadership. This has come because our people have un- derstood the times in which they lived and have had the enlightened cour- age to deal with the problems which faced them. In all that Wisconsin has, or will achieve, education has been a determining factor. • Our system of free education brought the gift of knowledge and train- ing to our people. But in Wisconsin it has likewise taught continuously the obligation of all to make return for these opportunities in enlightened and responsible citizenship. Our ability to master the complicated prob- lems of this age, giving us order and progress without surrender of liberty, will depend in large measure upon the accurate knowledge and sense of social responsibility coming forth from our system of education. • No institution of higher learning has played a greater part in or ren- dered greater service to the State that created it than the University of Wisconsin. Through its faculty and students it has repaid the State con- stantly in the highest forms of public service. Wisconsin is confident that the great record of the university will be maintained and advanced in the years ahead. PHILIP F. LA FOLLETTE 24
