To the Class of 1946: Jl is with regret, but also with pride and hope, that we see you leave the University. Your presence here will be missed. You have been among the loyal few who have maintained, at its highest, the great tradition of Lincoln during the diflieult war years. Together with the Late President-Kmeritus Wright, and a diminished faculty, you have manfully kept the institution, not only alive, but full of vitality. It is cause for regret to see such staunch men leave. It is also eause lor pride and hope. The qualities you have shown during a period of great difficulty are warrant enough to us all that you will face whatever new difficulties life has to offer with equal staunchness and with equal portion of success. Hence our pride, and our hope, in and for you. It is gratifying to know, also, that the promise you showed as Freshmen marked you then as worthy of high place in the world, and has remained to flower in your later years. Tomorrow, as yesterday, you will find that ability must be joined to high endeavor and hard work if promise is to be fulfilled. You have our gratitude, our pride, our hope, and our joy in your past and future. 1 know you will make for yourself and for Lincoln University a new place of honor in the public eye, not surpassed by any graduates of the long years behind you. Sincerely yours, IfoiiActi Mann Bond. II

JOS KIM I NKWTON HILL Dean af (hr College TO THE MKMHERS OF THE (Graduating Class of 1946: It is quite probable that if I have not made my thoughts clear to you, after a series of attempts covering a jieriod of four years, 1 shall hardly succeed now. It is true, however, that this message is not intended as a final thought, hut rather as a gesture of good will—a lion voyage.” liemember, then, the admonitions from Alina Mater; remember, too, the days of arduous work and of real enjoyment which were spent on the cam- pus. From such memories of work and play, take up the pattern of a balanced life and apply it to all I hat you do or say. You may even build an ennobling philosophy of life. The world has need of balanced men—men cognizant of the great society of their fellowmen throughout the world. I am counting on you, through under- standing, to help bring peace and progress to all mankind. Sincerely, J. Newton Hill Dean of the College. 12
