My dear children: I rejoice to see you before me today, happy youth of a sunny and fortunate land. Bear in
mind that the wonderful things that you learn in your schools are the work of many generations, produced
by enthusiastic effort and infinite labor in every country of the world. All this is put into your hands as
your inheritance in order that you may receive it, honor it, and add to it, and one day faithfully hand it on
to your children.
