Ladies and Gentlemen : Lucretius said that life is given to no one in fee-simple, but to all in usufruct. Possibly he was anticipating our college years. As I read the class history and the biographies of the members, it strikes me that you have used your years here pretty well. Certainly you have escaped my fusty sermonizing, and I shall not now begin to scatter gratuitous advice. Let us all wear the mantle of our humanity with grace, and turn to the Persian for comfort: Yon rising Moon that looks for us again — How oft hereafter will she wax and wane; How oft hereafter rising look for us Through this same Garden — and for some in vain ! And when like her, 0 Saki, you shall pass Among the Guests star-scatter’d on the Grass, And in your joyous errand reach the spot Where I made One — turn down an empty Glass ! And my very best wishes to you all. LEE CRAWFORD WILSON

To the Members of the Graduating Class: The spring of 1945 is a time that will remain indelibly fixed in your memory. It marks the culmination of your college career, a highlight in anyone’s life. The days leading up to your graduation are unique. They are coinciding with the termination of a major stage in the greatest war of all time. They also coincide with an unprecedented conference of nations met in the determination to find the ways and means of maintaining per- manent peace. It is a time, too, of a decided forward look, a time that reflects a new hope, a new faith, and a new determination to solve mankind’s age-old problems and to create a new and better world. For these reasons, you are graduating from college at a most opportune time, a time of great possibilities, a time which will demand a superior type of leadership, a time which will require the best that is in you, a time that offers great potentialities for creative service. With such a prospect, I am sure you will value the years you have spent here on the campus, and will have a growing appreciation for the opportunities the college has placed in your way for the broadening of outlook, for the pursuit of knowledge, and for the attainment of skills designed better to fit you for the duties which lie before you. Tha nks to your college training, you can look forward to your careers with assurance and with self-confidence, with the full realization that a place is waiting for you and that you have a contribution to make to the world’s work. Your college years have laid the foundation for the full enjoyment of nature’s gifts and for the highest appreciation of human experience. It is our hope that the future may bring you life’s richest and most satisfying rewards. CARL R. WOODWARD May 1, 1945
