To Clement C. Maxwell, President The phrase Class of 1959 has been seen and heard by all of us many times during our four years at Bridgewater; but this phrase is no longer an abstraction, it has become a realization. Such a realization does not just occur, but must gradually be developed. At times, the road leading to the much desired end, graduation, has been long, dark, and uncertain. At these times the administration and faculty of our school have given us the inspiration to continue so that in June 1959 graduation has become a realization. We, the Class of 1959, are aware of the fact that the results of our days at Bridgewater will be reflected daily throughout our lives. It is for this reason that we wish to thank you, President Maxwell, and the members of your faculty for holding a philosophy of teaching which we all hope to retain— one of teaching people rather than books. It is because of this philosophy, combined with your understand- ing and patience, that our four years here have not only increased our general knowledge b ut have taught us also to know ourselves, so that we might better understand ourselves. Cordially, The Class of 1959 14
