STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY The face of the world has changed greatly since the time the class of 1947 entered the University as freshmen. For many of you the progress of education was interrupted for one or more years. Some of those who started with you did not return; and those of you who did had a deeper insight into life than many men who graduated ahead of you. The class of 1947 enters an unsettled world. There Is change, and the promise of change, everywhere; but change, like the game of chairs we played as children, gives the newcomer his opportunity. It is a challenge to the graduate who has the energy and imagination to put his intellectual equipment and training to its best use. hach person must decide for himself what constiutes the best use. I am confident that a fair share of the gradu- ates of West Virginia University will take their places in advancing and stabilizing the relation- ships among men and among nations, in adding to the total of human knowledge, and in seeing that this knowledge is disseminated and used to the advantage of mankind. Your University, too, has been a part of the changing scene. The greatly increased demands which have been made upon it have taxed physi- cal facilities and mental ingenuity. The student body has done a remarkable job of adjusting to overcrowded conditions on the campus and has done it with good will. This adaptability and resourcefulness in itself is a fine preparation for the new life opening before you. As you go forth, you take with you the con- tinuing interest and good wishes of your Uni- versity ' s administrative and teaching staff. We shall follow your progress with pride and shall look forward, with pleasure, to your continuing interest in West Virginia University, which is a part of each of you, just as you will always be a part of it.
