 Charge to Graduating Class TO THE CLASS OF ’38: To those who have survived tomes this occasion of rejoicing. The course traversed by the more hardy members of the class has been strewn with a strange admixture of fragrant flowers and prickly shrubs- sometimes leading through smooth paths of steady achievement or perchance carrying you over rough places or up the steep ascent of hard- won intellectual and moral conquests. The years in intimate association with your comrades have proved the necessity and the difficulty of cultivating and preserving deep and unalloyed friendships in a world so charged with various kinds of egoisms and duplicity. New dreams have been awakened within you, new ideals have been formed, and perhaps in your moments of greatest inspiration, you have fore-visioned a new heaven and a new earth. Of greatest importance is the fact that the acquisition of information about the world has been coupled with an increasing awareness of your own function in the general scheme of human life. You step forth into the larger world at a time when many forces (political, economic, and social) are contending for the loyalties of men. In every aspect of our national and international life there is insecurity, conflict and confusion. Into whatever realm of activity you may enter in the years immediately ahead, all of your important decisions and your significant choices will be made with reference to the problem of human free- dom and economic and social justice in our own land and throughout the world. For good or for ill, there is no superman who has the detailed answer to the questions with which life will confront you. May it be, therefore, that in your associations among your- self, your fellow-student, and with the faculty, there have accrued to you during these years goodly portions of knowledge, understanding, and insight. May you have grown steadily from the frailties of early adolescence to the stability of early adulthood, from immaturity to maturity, from irresponsibility to responsibility, from weakness to strength. You stand today as the immediate justification for the existence of your Alma Mater and its faculty. You are the culmination of our joint endeavors and the 1938 illustration of our wisdom and competency. Time and circumstance now bid you enter the next stage of your life-fulfillment. Neither hesitate nor fear to take the next bold step. As students, as workers in the affairs of state, as laborers in the industry or commerce of the nation, as teachers of the nation's youth, stride forward in the strength developed within you during these years of happy concourse with men and ideas. In memory and continued devotion you will be linked with Alma Mater. With high hope and warm affection we bid you move onward into that untravclled world whose margins fade forever and forever as you move. Go forth to learn, to labor, and to live. 12 Frank T. Wilson
