I'0l'll PRESIDENT WORCESTER The title of Hamilton alumnus is a proud one. Many distinguished Ameri- cans have felt the warm satisfaction that comes with writing after one's name: '4A.B., Hamilton College. You men whom this hook honors have won your degrees under circumstances which make them equal in value and meaning to any Hamilton degrees heretofore conferred. Many of you, absent for years on war service, have returned to a college plunged i11to confusion by expansion and reconversion, to seize a college education as opportunity afforded. Yet in spite of trials, or perhaps because of them, your Hamilton degrees stand for sound learning, distinguished teaching, and pleasant familiarization with the responsibilities of free men. Increasingly as the years go by, your degree will symbolize for you the quality of mind and character that makes men leaders among their professional fellows and their fellow-citizens. Keeping the college headed truly towards the highest goals is a common task of faculty, administration, students, and alumni. A last Word: Never get lost! The College goes to great lengths to keep track of its own. Whenever you move or change jobs or have another baby, send a postcard to the Alumni Review. This will help us to make your participation in College affairs more pleasant and rewarding. If your College experience has been extraordi- nary, small wonder, for I feel that the College should take extraordinary pride in your conquest of difficult disciplines of the mind and your good cheer in the face of hardship. You are a grand bunch, and that goes for your wives too. God speed to all of you, and return soon and frequently to the Hill whence you are setting forth. 3
