I use this term because in the final analysis, each individual must set goals and objectives. Education has many facets. Academic achievement is the key element, but developing your full potential as a person is extremely important. This requires strict discipline in your study and in the budgeting of your time. It requires a sense of value and perspective. There are unlimited opportunities for development of this potential in all areas — leadership, extracurricular activities, cultural and social activities. Opportunities are yours for the seeking. The rich heritage of Texas A&M stems from its students.

To a very real extent, the future reputation of Texas A&M lies in your hands. This University offers great opportunity to those who will step forward and accept challenges and responsibilities. Your success at A&M will be what you make it, and it will depend largely upon your commitment to an education and in the amount of self-discipline you exercise during this important time in your life.
