PRESIDENT IRVIN STEWART The real test of your years in the University Hes ahead. College has opened many doors for you. How far you go down the corridor of vour interest rests largely with you. Stagnation is the alternative to further educational progress — progress for which you must supph the motivation and the discipline. Leaders are needed in all walks of life, in all arenas of activity. Your college education is an important step in pre- paration for leadership. Seek out your apprenticeship; grow into leadership. I am confident that you will respond to your opportunities and continue to develop. In so doing you will best repay those who made your college education possible. 22
