PRESIDENT CARR'S MESSAGE lhe problem ol communication between generations has always been difficult. Hur genciyuions---yours and inine-are no exception. The younger generation, perh.ips in honest and impatient frustration, condemns what it does not under- stand. lhc older generation tends to ofler apologies for tasks left undone and problems unsolved. I oflcr no such apology for my generation-and if my peers would constantly remind yot1 that your generation has spent very little time listen- ing to our voice of experience, I accept no such reminder because I believe more ol' you hate been listening than we realize. Ellie world may be plagued with war, poverty, disease and racial strife but I maintain that no previous generation has ever been left, as yours has been, a legacy of the tools of communication, transportation and technology with which to work on the solution of these problems. Never before has a generation provided all ol' these tools and at the same time left offspring with the intelligence and enthusi- ttsltt to use them. In the last few years, our news media have been busy disseminat- ing stories of the unwashed, the hippies and the beatniksg however, extensive research indicates that this element is but a small segment of a very serious-minded and intelligent college student population. Your contribution to whatever small corner of the world you live in will be essentially a personal one. Charles Duncan Mclver said, When you educate a man you educate an individual, when you educate a woman you educate a whole familyfi Therefore, in fulfilling your personal role as a woman keep in mind those little things that hold a family and a community together and make living a yyorthyyhile experience . . . remember the importance of not taking yourself so seriously that you forget to take time out to dream a little, it adds an element of imagination . . . provide moments for music and poetry, they add tranquillity and compassion to your relationship with people . . . above all, love someone so much that occasionally you cry. this will ensure that you laugh a lot. That you may enjoy life, I wish you good healthg that you may be successful, I 'wish you good luck. If x i its WM ff 8 5

N MEMORI g ', l Q . A .tu 'Qtr Q4 - 1 P, A. img: .- .-Il, .mf DR. PAUL E. Tl-IISSELL 1897-I968 Following is a copy of the remarks delivered on the oc'cc1.s'ion of the funeral of Dr. Paul E. Thissell by his friend John Mitchell: We are here to pay our last respects to a man who was respected by all of us-and dearly loved by some of us. It is appropriate, I think, to consider what manner of man was our friend. He was a quiet man, somewhat reserved-perhaps a bit shy-in social intercourse. Yet he had a great capacity for friendship-and when he had decided that any person was his friend, then he was unalterably loyal to that person. He was a completely dedicated teacher, a scholar by nature and choice. as well as by profession, a distinguished Romance philologist. He was also very close to nature, a skillful and tireless gardener and orchardist, a very close and knowledge- able observer and supporter of wild life, an attracter and supporter of all manner of stray dogs and cats. He was a man of immense personal sell discipline. and a man of monumental integrityg his principles were the product of long and searching contemplation, and he lived altogether by those principles. Not an active church member, he nevertheless was possessed of a deep and secure religious faith. These are the things he was: teacher. nature lover, music lover, animal lover, man of integrity, loyal friend-this is the friend we have lost. Most of us are the richer for having known him-with his passing there passes a little bit of ourselves. Yet he will live on in our memories, in our love. in our esteem. April IS, H268
