President ' s Message TO EACH MEMBER OF THE BOSTON UNIVERSITY CLASS OF 1951 MY DEAR FRIEND: As you receive your copy of THE HUB, a symbol of the unity and loyalty of all alumni of Boston Uni- versity to their Alma Mater, may you find a satisfying reflection of events, outlooks and enduring values as you have experienced them in our beloved school. Educated people have extra responsibilities in critical days. They owe to society the benefit of their skills, information, creative capacities and convictions. In extra measure, I bespeak of you, devotion to the great causes of this generation. Seek to think clearly and to serve with honest motives, even when sur- rounded by confusions and clamorous voices. Ideals wear better and longer than any other motivations. Maintain your cherished ideals, whatever comes. Boston University has an investment in you. Give a good account of your stewardship in order that our investment may be a wise one, and our school enriched by you. May you be richly blessed, divinely guided, and always strengthened for good deeds, that, living wisely and well, you may give permanent enrichment to our society. Let us cherish a special bond of affection because of our first year together. Faithfully yours,

Chancellor ' s Message DEARLY BELOVED MEMBERS or THE CLASS OF 1951: You and I are changing our relation to Boston University this year, you are graduating from studentship to become alumni and I am graduating from the Presidency to become Chancellor. When you entered, I had already been here for more than two decades. Therefore, I was here to welcome you. As Shakespeare savs : ,, r , ., Welcome ever smiles, And farewell goes out sighing. But let us remember that the word farewell, when accurately used, does not mean parting forever. It is composed of two Anglo-Saxon words, fare, meaning go, or go on a journey, and well, meaning favorably or excellently. Therefore, my beloved students, I salute each one of you in other words of Shakespeare : Fare thee well; The elements be kind to thee, and make Thy spirits all of comfort! I shall prize this copy of THE HUB as long as I live, and as I con o ' er it, and muse upon the faces of students, faculty, trustees and others, I shall relive the happy and challenging twenty-five years which I have spent as President of Boston University, not only the best years of my life, but also years in which I have given the best that is in me to make Boston University great in every way, worthy of your respect and love and pride and support. You are going out into the world in a day when it sorely needs clear brains and ready hands, stout hearts and loyal souls, men and women who can translate into life Boston University ' s motto: learning, virtue, and piety. God bless vou all !
