COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT CF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE WEST CHESTER, PENNSYLVANIA April 7, 1937 To the Members of the Graduating Class: Four years of college life have ended. But the knowledge, the friendships, the inspiration which gave value to those years belong not alone to the inde- structible past but go forward with you into the future. Perhaps the severing of college ties and the assuming of life ' s rssponsibilities saddens you; perhaps you feel it is unfortunate to begin your careers in a disillusioned and chaotic world. If so, ollov me to remind you this very confusion presents a challenging opportunity to offer to our troubled times the balm of love and service. As your guiding principle I recommend the message of the brave and dauntless hielen Keller: Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness. Carry a vision of heaven in your hearts, and you shall make your home, your college, the world, correspond to that vision. Your success and happiness lie in you. External conditions are the acci- dents of life, its outer trappings. The great, enduring realities are love and service. Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose worm and our intelligence aglow. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulty. Cordially yours, CHARLES S. SWOPE, CSS:EHC President Twenty-two

WINFIELD W. MENNHENNETT, B.S., AM. Dean of Instruction Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. Killinger, who in one year as Dean has proved himself to be very efficient in handling a large group of fractious young men. By his willingness to help and his ability to shoulder grave responsibility, he has become ' an invaluable asset to the denizens of Wayne EHall. In both his official capacity as Dean of Instruction, and in his unofficial capacity as friend and counsellor to all who know him, Dean Menhennett has gained for himself that priceless possess- ion, the respect and gratitude of the entire student body.
