4 December 1922. Dear Comrades!
I regret that I am unable to greet you in person. I send you my warmest wishes for success in your work. I hope that, despite your lofty title, you will not forget the most important thing: the imperative to advance, in a practical and businesslike manner, the preparation of youth and the pursuit of education.
With the best communist greetings,
V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
