Qin the members at the Grahuating Glass nf 1923 You have often watched the progress of the construction of a great building in the center of our city. It begins with a shapeless hole in the ground, and out of that seemingly useless void there grows a tall skeleton of steel. Then, here and there, appear roof coverings, partitions and exterior walls, sometimes growing downwards as well as upwards. It seems haphazard, at times, until we think that it is all a part of a well perfected plan and that its beauty and permanency depend upon the talent and education of the men who designed it and the hon- esty of those who have labored to realize the design. A faulty foundation or a faulty beam or column will endanger the en- tire structure and the lives of all those who may come to live or work in it. Our school has helped each one of you to lay the founda- tion of his life and in some measure to plan the building, but the superstructure must be reared by you.
