As the third president of The Stout Institute, I am happy to greet you. As a Stout alumnus. I am proud to have been awarded the highest honor that any college can I upon one of its graduates. It is indeed satisfying to all of us to sec that the Toucr is dedicated to the Gold Star ins ot Stout. Let us. those of us who are well and whole and living, count our bless- ings and make the best of the opportunities that were made possible by t: our less fortunate buddies. Let us be determined to prepare ourselves well to become socially use! ul. and to live understandingly together so that another generation ot young men and women will not be called by a presidential greeting to an even grimmer task than the last. M class graduated in 1916, and soon thereafter we went to war. It was the war to end all wars, but nations had not learned to live together: so a few years later we were called to another more devastating one. There must be no more wars. There will Ik- no more wars it all people can learn to live tolerantly and happily together. Education is the background for this understanding. rgnorance engenders suspicion and hatred. The nations with the highest percentage of educated people have made the greatest progress socially and economically. There arc many advantages, thcretore, in continuing and enlarging our own educational opportunities, and those of our neighbors at home and abroad. There must Ik education lor everybody, and of every kind. America is great. She is great because of her vast store of natural and physical re- sources supported In .1 system of free education. The schools teach the people how to ex- ploit these resources and how to turn them into the main materials and gadgets of human need and for human comfort. There are many countries with resources of variety and in amount equal to ours, but their resources remain in their natural state because the people do not know how to process them. Education, therefore, is the basis ot all progress: and education is of all kinds. The graduates of Stout go forth possessed of abilities to teach the people the art of accomplish- ment in industry as well as in the all-im[x)rtant function of homemaking. They share richly in educational contributions in any community: and the opportunities for such services are increasing, as is evidenced by the growing demands lor our graduates. Stout made a significant contribution to the winning of War II. Alumni and students served in all branches ot military and civilian war service. Stout now again taki place in education for peace. Its graduates will go forth to pro idc educational op] nity tor generations to come, so that the people whom they teach can Ik intelligent and live happily together: they will teach at home and abroad and carry the message of peace and good will that can Ik given understanding - only to people who are made ready by education.
