EDUCATION, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD Once again another graduating class takes lea c of the Alma Mater. After four years of strenuous work, ) ' 0U have completed the requirements for your Bachelor ' s Degree. This, however, does not mean that vour education is complete; far from it. You are only standing on the threshold of the door of knowledge with a master key in your hand. Will you use the key? If you do, you will find that you will emerge into a sunlight more genial than ' ou have e er known. The uneducated man is like a person groping aimlcssh ' in chaotic obscurity. Let your light so shine before men that they may sec your good works. Class of ' 48. let that light be the education acquired at this great institution; let it shine in the way of darkness to guide the feet of warring people into the way of peace. May God ' s richest blessings be upon 3 ' ou, and aid you in accomplishing this task. C. P. Banks, Jr. Editor-iti-Chicf of the Bull A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT All o er the countr the graduating classes of 1948 will be entering upon a continued career of education in the graduate or professional schools or in life experiences which will continue their education. Let us remember that education is not only a matter of books and of book-learning, but is more than these. Education is more than information. Self-sacrifice, co-operation and l() alt ' are required of us to make our li cs like a beacon in the darkness. We must alwa s remember the fi e P ' s— plain, purpose, per- sonality, principle and perse erance. These are the fi e fundamentals upon which our lives and achie ements should be based. It is onl natural that we will meet with difficulties, but we are sure to conquer them if we onh ' persexere. We join a great company of pioneers and trail blazers who have been turning the darkness into day in all the communities into which they have gone. We are resolved to make Johnson C. Smith proud of us and to make the world brighter, happier and more peaceful because of us. James A. Barrier Page Eighteen
