JOHN STEWART BRYAN • PRESIDENT liJ. HEN a class graduates, a new door is opened through which there is no returning. Like any other violent change, this severing of accustomed bonds has in it both a sense of loss and the exciting stimulus of novelty. No matter how happy and peaceful college life may be, we all know — faculty and students — that no one can remain an under- graduate forever and keep on growing. Equal- ly deep is the certainty that he who would have the fullness of life must have the fullness of opportunity to fall as well as the chance to rise. Here at William and Mary the class of 1939 has had a foretaste of honors and successes, of trials and disappointments. The world outside can only intensify these experiences; it cannot essentially change them. But William and Mary, in its influence and training, can and does give to its students the will to go forward, the courage to endure, the power to rise, and the resilience to recover. There is no substitute for the will to win, and no energy can replace indomitable spirit. That is what Edmund Burke meant when he cried, as the class of 1939 must cry in its day and generation: Let us pass on! In God ' s name, Let us pass on! John Stewart Bryan [21]
