"Soon, each of us will start a new chapter in our lives. We may enter industry or further our education or enter the armed forces. We must be properly equipped if we are to achieve whatever goal we have set. We have been given some of the necessary equipment through our education here. Now it is our responsibility to augment our education with equipment that is innate with us.
Because personality is an undetachable part of us, it will be part of this equipment. Unfortunately, in an age of mass education and mass communication we often lose sight of the individual. We forget to treat the individual with the respect and with the warmly personal manner that is often lost in mass contact.
We must also include a certain kind of spirit in our equipment. This type of spirit, born of revolution and nurtured by men and women of young, sacrificing spirit, has given rise to two types of thinking that are now engaged in a "cold war." Once more we must rally that resourceful, that enduring spirit which characterized the early American. We must equip ourselves with the pioneer spirit!
Our inexperienced generation can not know the magnitude of the task which is set before us. But with this equipment let us begin, confidently, the new chapter of our lives."
