To the graduating class of 1951 may I, in behalf of the Faculty and Board of Trustees, extend heartiest congratulations. By your industry and perserverance you have successfully completed a strenuous and exacting program. Your firmness of pur- pose and high level of ability enabled you to succeed while others fell by the wayside. When you began your studies in the fall of 1947, the world was in an immediate post-war period and appeared to be on the verge of a long era of peace and pros- perity. Then, you had a right to believe that if you could meet the challenge of a col- lege career, your future would be well-defined in a chosen field. You did your part and met these challenges successfully, but the words and deeds of a few men lustful for power have, temporarily at least, deprived you of the full measure of your reward. Communistic and Godless men in distant lands, and some in your own count- ry, have decreed that you shall not be allowed to practice your profession in a peace- ful atmosphere. Instead of the happy Commencement of a career designed to make men’s lives healtier and happier, for many of you it may be the beginning of a period in which you will be forced to tear down and destroy other men and other nations if you yourself are to live as free men. The uncertain future lies before you. The guiding principles and ethics of your profession as laid down by your fellow men have been included in your preparation for it. But even a higher code of moral conduct than that demanded by your asso- ciates will be necessary if you are to develop the integrity and strength of character to live honorably in these troubled times. As the Chancellor of the University confers the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy upon you and thus opens to you the portals of your profession, may you remember that this honor which has come to you is shared by your family, your teachers and the many others who have made it possible for you to attain it. May you in some small measure repay them and at the same time bring to yourself a full and useful life by the proper exercise of the rights and privileges granted to you with the awarding of your diploma.
