CARLETON L. WIGGIN, Principal lt is customary at mid-century to pause, review the past, and make some predictions about the immediate future. In the past fifty years man has literally invented a new World in which to live. The accumulation of scientific knowledge has been without precedent. There seems so much to learn that it is easy to become confused or to accept without criticism the beliefs and practices of the majority. It is well to remember that in spite of the rapid pace of life there remain eternal and constant truths. It is to be hoped that through your being together and through your reading you have, in some measure, increased your acquaintance with these truths. The great necessity of the future is for the individual to resist being swept into the hysteria of such mass movements as those of the past fifty years which have brought us to the brink of ruin. ' There is still need for individual conscience, human dignity, and adherence to estab- lished principles. One need not feel hopeless, for throughout history there have always been people of ability and good will to serve as beacons for those about them. May all of us, to the limits of our ability, accept such a challenge. aww Zi ..-
