To those of you who ore graduating this year, my very good wishes for a successful and happy life. During the years of my connection with the University, we have passed through years of peace, of war, of prosperity, of depression, and now again, we ore in the midst of war. The students who graduated in those years that hove passed have all contributed their efforts to the welfare of their country. None of them, however, had the opportunity of service that is open to you. Many of you will enter the service of your country, as will many of the members of the other classes, as they are called upon. To all of you I express the very earnest hope that you may find the place for which you are best fitted, and then devote your entire energies to doing the best job possible. The time you hove spent at the University has well equipped you for your work. I trust that those of you who remain in the University will realize that the best service you can render to your country at this time is to give all your time and energy to your studies. Educated men and women will be more needed than ever before to assume leadership in the years to come. Each of you has the opportunity to become one of those leaders. DANIEL LAURENCE, Vice-President

Inasmuch as this is the tenth anniversary of my coming to the University, I find special pleasure in writ- ing a foreword for the 1942 CINCINNATIAN. These have been ten stirring years, ranging from the world ' s heaviest economic depression to the world ' s greatest war. Despite such conditions, the University has triumphed over obstacles and has made notable advances in its service to the City and to the Nation. The University of Cincinnati may mod- erately be said to merit the encomium ascribed to it: America ' s leading municipal university and a na- tional institution. To the Board of Directors, Deans, departmental heads and members of the Faculty, 1 express my ap- preciative tribute for their achievement in bringing these results to pass. And in this tribute I would include the students of the decade, the alumni of earlier years, and the supporters of the University whose gifts have aided research, teaching and other functions. Working with all these component and assisting elements of the University has been for me a very happy privilege. As to the future, I am confident that the patriotic spirit so splendidly manifest on the campus will result in still larger contributions of the scope and value that a great university can make to America in war and in the peace to come. RAYMOND WALTERS, President
