As you keep faith with the ideals of The University of Southern California you are keeping faith with these whom you represent.
“I welcome you to an institution which for more than a half century has lived to serve. May you find a real home among us and may you form friendships which §hall long endure. From now on you are Trojans, and Troy wfll be judged in a large extent by your conduct.
“My wish for you is that the years you spend with us may prove both happy and rewarding.”
