NEW YORK UNIVERSITY LWUVERMTY COLLEGE OF ARTS AND MHENCE UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS. NEW YORK 53, N.Y. OFFICE OF THE DEAN 1 TELEPHONE: LUDLOW 4-0 To the Class of l963: Following the excitement of your final final-examinations and of your various festivities centered on Commencement, you will find a little pause before you settle to your summer occupations. Now you can examine your Violet. Its pages will recall striking events of the last four years: some few of them memorialized in pictures of teachers and college officials you've known at University Heights: some other few in pictures of buildings and campus spots: most, in pictures and accounts of your classmates. Ten or twenty or thirty years from now, not many of the tiresomely familiar professors will still be on campus: some buildings Qfor example, State Hall and Green, will be forever gone: classmates will have developed lines in their faces, width in their waistlines, maturity and authority in aspect and demeanor. At that distant date, you may read the Violet of 1963 with mirth or with nostalgia. Right now, however, the perspective is short. You will groan or snort or laugh over events re- called from the recent past much as you did at the moment of actual occurrence. Then, you will close your book, to let sentiment ripen. This letter thanks you for your participation in the last four years, wishes you well in the years directly ahead, and blesses for you the more distant future. It commends the Violet to you not only for your immediate pleasure but as the stimulus for your future recollections. It congratulates you on your graduation, foresees your success in a far-reaching set of ncom encements,u and offers you personally the lasting bonds of your Alma Mater's affection. Don't forget heri J John Warren Knedler, Jr. U
