Robert Millikin recently wrote: In the last analysis humanity has but one supreme problem, the problem of light-- ing the torch of modern creative effort and passing on for the enrichment of the lives of future generations, truth already discovered-in two words, research and education. The passing on of this racial inheritance of truth is the most important function of the teacher. Teachers have some- times been accused of being Hmerchandisers of worn-out knowledge, and unless they are cognizant of developments in this rapidly changing world, this statement may well be true. lt is literally true that graduation from college is a com- mencement. No school should be a finishing school. In a civilization which is changing as rapidly as ours, it is impos- sible to anticipate the knowledge and skills necessary even a few years in the future. If a teacher is to interpret racial knowledge to his students, he must himself be a student. If he cannot be a discoverer of truth, he can keep in touch with the findings of investigators. My wish for you who are the seniors of 1930 is that you may be the guiding, inspiring, inquiring type of teachers. One is reminded of Goldsmith's parson who Hallured to brighter worlds and led the way. Students and teachers may well be fellow travelers in this great adventure of learn- ing. GEORGE M. SNODGRASS, President. N
