THE CHANCELLOR, DAVID SHAW DUNCAN Pioneering is not a trait that belongs to any particular period of time, any particular country, or any particular people. From the pages of early recorded history we read of men who have left their homes and gone to distant lands to carve out new destinies. Every age has its Columbuses, its Scotts, its Byrds. We are the descendants of a race of pioneers, who fought the attacks of Indians, stemmed the plague of locusts, overcame months of drouth, looked death in the face and conquered. Before us are new countries, new skies, new horizons. They are not physical phenomena, but prob- lems economic, financial, governmentalg problems of religion, edu- cation and social relationships. No one has preceded us on this adventure, but the same qualities of character which -held our pio- Chancellor Duncan joins the students in celebrating the traditional Adam and Eve Day. neering ancestors steadfast and steady-courage, faith, determina- tion, persistence and hopefwill help us to succeed. The foes to be conquered will be overcome by those who have education, train- ing'and skill. The future beckons the intellectual pioneers. CHANCELLOR, DAVID SHAW DUNCAN. 20
