Responsibility To the Seniors of 1926: A people is civilized when it has formed institutions for the country which enable each individual to profit by the industry, wisdom and experience of all his fellow citizens, and when it encourages each individual to contribute thru his industry, wisdom and experience to the benefit of his fellow citizens. Our democracy implies the definite sharing of opportunity and responsibility. Too often we emphasize opportunity and do not measure up to responsibility. This signifies failure individually and the consequent weakening of democracy — the best possible structure of society. Assume and discharge with fidelity and completeness your responsibilities as teachers and citizens. So long as you possess purity and energy of thoughts, words and actions you need have no fear of the ultimate results. Your efforts will be crowned with the laurel wreath of success. While students here, as well as after you receive your diploma and enter the actual work of teaching. “Be all that you seem to be: aim to be more than you seem to be.” JOHN F. SIMS. Page tix
