Sometimes the outstanding item is of such a na' ture that an actual seal can be attached. In other cases, recognition of merit is intangible, but that recognition is equally real and acknowledged. Of course, when a graduating class leaves our campus, it is impractical to ustampn every member with a seal of approval. However, tra- dition and high regard for Stout graduates has, over a period of many years, accomplished the same result. Thus, since 1893, the tradition has grown ever stronger that young men and women who have prepared themselves at Stout are truly competent, able to assume responsibility in educaf tion or business, ready to accept a full share of civic and community duties, and capable of ap' preciating the social, economic, and aesthetic en- vironment in which they work and live. Public esteem for Stout graduates is equally evident, whether the graduate be a young person just leaving the campus to accept a first position or an alumnus of many years experience. Consef quently, to employ capable individuals in the fields in which our college specializes, administrators turn most frequently to Stout. Perhaps members of the Graduating Class of 1961 wonder if they, too, give evidence of special competence. Certainly they manifest apf propriate self-assurance, based upon the excellence of their college education. The varied employment opportunities from among which they have, perf haps, already chosen and the serious responsibilities which they are now asked to assume are proof, indeed, of professional endorsement. Therefore, to each member of the Class of 1961, I say, Godspeed.v To the many personal attributes which you already possessed upon arrival at Stout, you have added, in the ensuing four years, the knowledge and skills and perception so necesf sary in our modern world. Yes, you merit a Seal of Approval?
