imniMHi Chancellor ' s Message When we raise our sights, strive for excellence, and dedicate ourselves to the highest goals of our society, we are enrolling in an ancient and meaningful cause, the age long struggle of man to realize the best that is in him. John Gardner This quotation embodies the spirit of my message to the University Family. Antyhing less than a concerted effort on our part to uphold the high standards of integrity, dignity, and cohesiveness, upon which this great institution was founded and is now based, would be unworthy of us. To those of you who are graduating seniors, you have kept the faith and completed the rigorous tasks which were necessary to bring you to this plateau. We have done all we can to prepare you for life ' s new role. Whether you accept it or not, each member of this class is cast in the role of a leader and each of you will be expected to lead. 1 hope the foundation you have built here is firm and secure enough to support any life structure you might build for youself. Commencement Day for you may be likened unto the period of development in the life-cycle of a baby bird. When the parents feel that the baby bird is strong enough to fly, they push it out of the nest so it can try its new wings. As members of the Class of 1985, you will have this experience on Commencement Day. We believe you will fly. You may falter at first and you will probably have a few rough bumps before you are able to soar with the confidence and grace of an eagle, but this will come with constant effort and faith in your own ability, not only to achieve but to excel. Don ' t become complacent and self satisfied and think you have it made. Maintain a burning desire for achievement and service, not just for you, but for what it may mean for your Alma Mater and for your fellowman. As one person has said, If a man ' s legs should be long enough to reach the ground, so too, should his ambition be long enough to reach the stars. So I say to you, keep your feet on the ground, but let your ambition be boundless.
