To the Senior Class of 1921 Dear Friends: March 4, 1921, marked a quadrennial change in the life of our country: the responsibility of government passed from the hands of one party into those of another. Thousands of American citizens witnessed the inauguration ceremonies held at the east entrance of the Capitol at Washington. The exercises were simple, appropriate, and dignified ; the interest centered in President Harding and Vice-President Coolidge. Who arc they? What supreme qualities challenged the admiration of their fellow citizens and elevated them to positions of high responsibility? What powers of mind and of heart made effective appeal at a time when the tasks of government are heavy, and when their proper discharge is fraught with such significant, far-reaching consequences in the life of our nation? These men come from the ranks. They have been the architects of their own fortunes. They have risen from obscurity to greatness by the force of their own genius. The qualities of integrity, courage, indomitable will-power, unfaltering devotion to duty, and loyality to high ideals were so admirably combined in them that leadership followed as naturally as the flower opens to the sunlight. All that is best in American life finds expression in such men, makes us desire to emulate them, and stirs to wholesome activity the moral forces in us, so that we too may assume the role of leadership, no matter how circumscribed our field in the stage of our initial efforts. Growth results from loyalty to these qualities, for loyalty is nothing more than a belief in a cause worth while, and a willingness to exemplify it in our lives. Seniors, go forth to dare and do; you arc called in many ways; the state has made its contribution to your education and you arc under solemn obligation to pay the debt you owe. Let me commend to you the closing stanza of the poem written by L. R. Briggs of Harvard for the tercentenary celebration of the Landing of the Pilgrims: And when we sail as Pilgrims' sons and daughters, The spirit's Mayflower into seas unknown Driving across the waste of wintry waters The voyage every soul shall make alone. The Pilgrim's faith, the Pilgrim's courage grant us; Still shines the truth that for the Pilgrims shone. We are his seed; nor life nor death shall daunt us, The port is Freedom! Pilgrim heart, sail on. Senior heart, sail on. Your Alma Mater sends you forth with her blessing. Do not fail her — be cxamplars of her ideals. John F. Sims. ThirUtn
