FRoM THE , S e Ula at Photo by Atkinson I have great difficulty in writing a message to the students. You are a fine group of people, but you are a heterogeneous lot with interests, aptitudes and attitudes as different as a man from a monkey. My hope is that all of you, regardless of any peculiar character- istics. have profited by your experiences at San Angelo College. Under somewhat crowded conditions, we have made an honest effort to help you, and, with few exceptions, we have succeeded where we had your co-operation. Some of you will continue in our college-a new physical plant will be available-next year: others will not. Whatever you do, we want you to know that you cannot escape our interest in you. In a measure, you are the products of our labor. We shall bask in the glory of your success, and we shall share in disappointments if you should fail. Of course, you are not much interested in our participation in your welfare. Most of you are interested in getting ahead in life. That is a wholesome attitude if you do not lose your sense of values. You should keep in mind that getting ahead in these days must place upon you tremendous responsibilities and obligations main free and unencumbered by dictatorship or socialism how to live in a democracy. Then, we must so live that the tion will not crumble and bury us in the ruins. I am not a pessimist, but any fairly close observer of the If our life in America is to re- or communism, we must learn walls of our trembling civiliza- attitudes and actions of many people with respect to their knowledge of and recognized obligations in a free society is likely to be amazed at the progress we have made. Surely, it is one of the wonders of this world that Democracy continues to live and function. Much of the progress, however, has been due to natural causes Csome of which have disappearedj and not to personal con- tributions. Any amount of college training places you in a select minority group. To an increasing extent. the college trained men and women must assume the leadership in this country. It is their privilege- your privilege-to contribute to the betterment of society and thereby lead mankind away from the bitter consequences of greed, lust, and false pride and pre- judice. You may do your part by meeting squarely and intelligently this most important challenge to the younger generation.
