ADMINISTRATION

Page 13 text:

You have an appointment with the future. Each graduating class feels that it is meeting the greatest problems and challenges the if world has ever known, and, perhaps, that is true. As man has increased his knowledge and applied it to controlling his environmenthe has created multitudes of new problems which has caused a demand for more education and new skills. Long accepted moral, political and social standards have been challenged. As scientific and' technological advances have been made, the complexity of living has increased and con- tinues to increase. Thus, each graduating class feels its chal- lenge is the greatest and yours is no exception. Precedi ng generations have made their contributions to science, literature, the arts, religion, political science and all areas of human endeavor. They have explored the unknown and at times people has asked what is left to be done '? Un- til now you have been assimi- luring a knowledge of work, ac- complishments and failures of past generations. Today you are standing on the threshold of a new world--one much more chal- lenging than that faced by Columbus, more exciting than that of Edison, more demanding than that of Churchill. Although mankind has made wonderful advances in the physical aspects of living, he has iust begun. Undreamed of developments lie ahead. But it is in living with each other that man has most consistently failed. ln the years which lie ahead challenge lies in the modification and control of our socio-economic machinery and governments so that all peoples of the world may share the products of science and automation in peace, mutual respect and confi- dence. Sharing in this challenge is the appointment you have. It is our hope that you will be found willing and prepared to keep your appointment and in keeping it we wish for you every happiness and success. Sincerely, cc..I,fJZ,,L 9
