eyears in college, long ., looking forward to and short in looking back upon, are now a closed incident in the life of the Class of 1935. Not that they are done with, however. Of all the years that make up the span of life the four years spent in college are the most significant. They always and inevitably bulk large in the scheme of things which we call Life. They will always command you. They will always go before you, leading the way, although they belong to the past. They will admonish and rebuke; they will call to battle when great issues arise, and then dictate the terms of peace; from their standpoint they will pass judgment upon all the years that follow; they will be the Rosetti Stone to unlock all mysteries and lay bare the judgments of history; and they will acclaim you victor or vanquished as you regard or reject their disciplines, their findings, and their prophesies. I have a special interest in your class. I am the father of one of your members, and thus I have a fatherly interest in everyone of you. J wish you "God-speed" and joy at every turn of the road, even to the journey's end! ALBERT NORMAN WARD
