TO THE CLASS OF 1956 Except for a few hardy veterans, the members of your class are my contemporaries as far as seniority at The Hill is concerned. For this reason, and for many others which you will understand, I feel a special bond of kinship with the men of 1956. You have been friendly, entertaining, and original. Most of you have worked reasonably hard, even if the process in some cases was unduly delayed. It is fair to say, also, that the vast majority of you have come to understand why you were here and what a School can mean, over and above the simple fact of college preparation. Apart from the conventional but sincere admonishment to pursue your future studies with diligence and earnestness, I would add one other suggestion. Never lose, as individuals, that original- ity and that independence of thought which distinguish the person from the crowd, the individual from the mass, the responsible from the irresponsible. This world in which we live needs re- sponsible citizens more than any single commodity. Your grades in college will be important, but your self-reliance and sense of direction will be far more important. You have heard the advice: Follow your inclinations with due regard to the policeman around the cornerf' This precept is far from a cynical one if we remember that the best policeman in these circumstances is your own true instinct for what is right. I have every confidence that the Class of 1956 has this instinct and will follow it to a collective career which will shed luster upon yourselves and upon a School which will always regard you with affection.
