"You, more than any other person, are responsible for these achieve- 

 ments; your knowledge and vision in planning, and your unremitting labor and 

 infinite capacity for taking pains have made them possible. .We, who under your 

 firm but kindly guidance have shared in these achievements, are grateful for the 

 privilege. 



"Though you are about to relinquish your command, we who remain shall 

 strive to uphold the high standards you leave us as our heritage. May that as- 

 surance and the consciousness of a job well done add to your happiness and 

 contentment in the future."
