To the Members of the Class of 1942: WHEN Henry Adams gave the Class of 1858 Oration at Harvard someone remarked that, for a young man, the Orator was singularly lacking in enthusiasm. Facing a world that no sensitive nature can regard without a shudder, no one will be surprised if you seem to lack enthusiasm. For all of us, but perhaps especially for the young, every day heightens the sensation that we are being rolled into the surf of a wild ocean. Banners of hatred have been unfurled throughout the earth; and for many of you about all there is left of what once was called a philosophy of life is the bitter surmise of one of your own generation: Love is no more, and justice is a lie; Life is a cheat - and we go forth to die! Against such an outlook it is difficult to maintain that life need not be thin and fruitless. And yet it should be plain to the thoughtful, even in 1942, that no man can make a career of disillusionment. Adams tried it and failed. The trouble with trying to build on the firm foundations of unyielding despair is that despair has no foundations. Avoid snap judgments, both of human nature and of history; and as the years pass, struggle—it will often be a struggle--to broaden your views of life, of man, of God. Blessings on you always and always! Gratefully yours, 14 Shelby Rooks.
