HAIL AND FAREWELL TO THE CLASS OF 1950 Greetings and felicitations extended year after year to graduating classes often tend to fall into a Hxed pattern. Yet, I am prompted in my annual message to an outgoing class to reaffirm some of those basic truths which never change. However stiff the competition may be in whatever field of en- deavor you may ultimately elect to follow, please remember there is always an opportunity for a keen and well trained mind. In the world in which we live today, knowledge, brains and a willingness to work still have no substitute. If you have these qualities, you need not fear for your future. In The Hill School, during your course, most of you have been exposed in some measure to the value of a liberal education which the Levis Room and its program so vividly foster. Most of the great men I have known in any field have had a background of liberal education both in college and in life. I have watched with keen interest and appreciation the development of many Hill boys in professional life who have appreciated the value of a liberal edu- cation in the choice of their college courses. They have gone a long way. Therefore, when you choose your courses in college, whether they be in the field of the Classics, Science or Engineering, recognize the value and importance of including in them a liberal sprinkling of cultural courses in those fields of study which interest you. By preserving a happy balance between the materialistic and cultural in your development in your college course and later on in your vocational endeavors, you will do much to lay an enduring foun- dation for a happy and useful life. God bless you and good luck to you in the years that lie ahead. IAMES I. WENDELL
