L. T. MORE, B. s.. Ph. D. XS Dean of the Graduate School You, Mr. Editor, have urged me to give your classmates a parting word which may live with them in future years. The best I can do is to remind them that they have had, during four years, the privilege of learning the great legacies from the past in both letters and sciences. Recollect this experience as frequently as possible in order to enjoy the happiness of a full life and, from a knowledge of the success or failure of other times, to perfect a sound judgment in meetingqthe problems of the future. While most of you will not enter the Graduate School, yet it has unobtrusively been re- sponsible for the scholarship which you have enjoyed. It is told of Saint Antony, of Padua. that he became a great leader of thought and conduct by first retiring into the desertl men, observing his disregard of ordinary affairs, out of curiosity followed him to his retreat in great' numbers that they might learn of his power of self-controlg so scholarship, as a true guide to life, should be sought for and ought not seek men that they may discover its rewards. 0-v..af.,'7 24 l

L. A. PECHSTEIN, Ph.D. Dean of the College of Education. Not in numbers merely, nor in its wealth of material things will the great- ness of our Alma Mater be stated. Rather, the intangible things of the spirit, the ideals and attitudes of both students and teachers, define institutional no less than individual greatness. Toward developing this non-material aspect of our community living thelfaculty of the College of Education wishes you progress. X403 23

A. C. BACHMEYER. M. D. Dean of the College of Medicine. For ages past, the doctor was summoned only when disease or injury was present and even today, his efforts, in the main, are spent in alleviating pain and restoring health. However, since we have acquired certain definite knowledge of the cause of disease, the elements of pre- vention of illness and the promotion of health have entered more largely into the practice of medicine. If past history is any indication, then these elements will take on an ever increasing importance in the future. Numerous laboratory tests and instruments of precision have been developed and are being used as aids to diagnosis. All of these, however, only serve to emphasize and more ac- curately detine and record the observations and deductions it is possible to make with our un- aided senses. The mind, with or without these aids, must still formulate the conclusion and direct therapy. It is highly important. therefore, that you use every effort to improve your natural facul- ties, for these modern assistants may not at times be available and you should not be found wanting. - The completion of your studies in college closes the initial phase of your professional life and should find you prepared to enter upon the practice of your profession. The medical college has endeavored to furnish you with the tools of learning in order that, by experience, you may become reliable and effective physicians. Your minds. however, should remain recep- tive and pliable so that you may readily adjust yourselves to the everchanging conditions in our profession. 25
