- 6 y 1 To the Class of 1932 COMMENCEMENT is a curious word. As now applied it denotes the end of your college course. In its deeper mean- ing, it denotes the beginning of another sort of course where you will start at the bottom again. Perhaps you will go out of college flushed with victor} ' ; per- haps you have been riding on the crest of a wave of success in your studies and of popularity with your mates. With Commence- ment over, you begin the long, difficult grind of a career ; you have to achieve all over again, in the battle of a lifetime, the same sort of victory you gained in four short years in college. My very best wishes go with you in the battle ahead. I have confidence that the same human stufif which made you win in college will assist you to victory in the land which lies beyond Commencement. You won in college because you kept growing. Only by keeping on growing intellectually, morally and person- ally can you win in life. Ill Jiuc signo vincitis. PAUL E.
