PRES THE Sf O r'- FlTUTE I if .T I OFFICEO THE R I ENT mg' E SEN if May 29, 1941 To the Class of '41 The Stout Institute These four years, a short but most important period in your lives, will remain a pleasant memory for half a century or more, and their incidents will later become a favorite theme in reminiscence. The years here have given you a foundation for life accomplishment. The period of preparation has been short com- pared with the period allotted you for achievement. Yet, one of these periods is but an hour and the other but a day compared with the years required for the building of America. And even the years that go into the making of a nation can be counted as a fraction of a second in the thousands of millions of years that have made the earth what it is. That time had a beginning is inoonceivableg to it there can be no end. To you and to me this little While that is ours be- comes more important as we think of the Work we have to do and the seconds to do it in. The call of a drowning man tenses every muscle for action. A cry of fire stimulates anyone to the full measure of capability. Those alarms are sounding now as you cross the portals of the West door to enter life's arena. The attack, though important, is very brief, but ambition and deter- mination must be long sustained. All through these years leading to success or failure, your little family of classmates, other students, faculty, and administration - will daily press for recognition in your mem- ories. Through those years, you, the Class of '40, Will take pride in them, for they are Stout, and you, as alumni, will make your Work add honor and fame to your Alma Mater. May you ever take pride in her. Sincerely yours, Burton E. Nelson, President The Stout Institute BENfmb
