leaders are essential Dr. Bertram H. Holland, Headmaster As you, the members of the Class of 1963, leave Brookline High School, I commend to you the words of John Donne: “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or thine own were: any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.” These words are even more appropriate today than when they were written circa 1623. We all bear a share of responsibility for events in Mississippi, in Cuba, in India, on the next street, in the corridor. This is so whether we like it or not and regardless of our individual awareness of the fact. It is one of the sobering realizations that identify a mature citizen. Once having acquired this concept one never again acts in quite as juvenile a manner as he did before. It is the hallmark of a civilized person and the basic precept of society and of all humane actions. It is the prime corollary of the God-given right of all men to personal dignity and self-respect. From it flow the virtues of integrity, honesty, truthfulness, self-sacrifice. Brotherhood is an active, not a passive ideal, which becomes hollow and weak unless applied consciously in our daily living. No man is truly educated who does not subscribe wholeheartedly to the idea that he is, indeed, his brother’s keeper. BERTRAM H. HOLLAND Headmaster 11
