Snrprrme Qin-uri nf the Qigxriish Staten cnhussssiior f ., K l V' VVIV IVVV , A B' ol' THE CHIEF JUSTICE 1 Z To the Members of the Class of 1958: A It is now ten years since the founding of your University and a good time not only to review its' growth and accomplishments but also to recall the philosophyfof Louis Brandeis whose courage and convictions have guided you-f and your teachers during this eventful period. I know that this is an important milestone for you and share your enthusiasm and confidence in your future. As you leave school life will, of necessity, become more complex and you will find that too often principles give way to expediency, loyalty to self-interest and teamwork to individual play. Whatever may be the fcase, it will not mean that your present ideals are unsound. .lt will only mean that you must strive the more to hold to those ideals. I hope you will always keep mind the ,tremendous faith which inspired Justice Brandeis to a Elifetime dedicated to making democracy work. Not many of you will spend your lives in public service, but all of you should remember that nextlto your homes and churches, government will touch Qyour lives more intimately than anything else. Your government will be your responsibility. I know you will find it, as Justice Brandeis did, an exciting and rewarding business if carried on with enthusiasm and understanding I wish for you continued success and hope that you will carry with 'you not only the memory of wonderful friendships but the habit of unbiased inquiry in the pursuit of truth which was so characteristic of the man for whom your University is named.

I am very glad to give Yearbook a statement, since of the founding of Brandeis which has made such strides existence. if f the Brandeis University 1958 this is the tenth anniversary and I know of no university in the first ten years of its Brandeis was a dream and it has become a reality through the efforts of its President and the support of many people throughout the U.S. The student body is exceptional, I think, nfvf and it should be because the faculty is exceptional and the facilities of every kind are inf creasing by leaps and bounds. Brandeis set its standards very high and it has adhered to them, so I think on this,A tenth anniversary we can say it is becoming an influence in American life and a beacon light in American education.
