PRESIDE ' MESSAGE I have some hesitations about speaking on behalf of Carleton College to those of you who are graduating this year. You can look back upon a number of years spent in these halls, whereas I am a newcomer and have much yet to learn about Carleton and its ways. Full understanding of a particular university comes only with time and study. Universities are not rigid and unchanging institutions, they admit of wide variations. The variations must be seen, of course, against a common pattern. Uni- versities are repositories of a common tradition, and, whether they were founded cen- turies ago or during the last few years, they have common goals. But having recog- nized this, one must be careful not to make simple identifications, for universities, like people, develop strong personalities. Sometimes, unfortunately, this personality is distinguished only by its dullness. Such a stricture could never be leveled at Carleton, for even at the tender age of fourteen she has acquired a lively identity, and even dur- ing the few months which I have been here, I have learned to know and to admire her. What are some of her characteristics? I suggest these are the most important. First of all, a sense of a close community life that at the same time does not smother individual expression. Second, an amateur zest in work and play, combined with professional thoroughness in what is important. Finally, and above all, a belief in the centrality of human values in studies, in sport, and in social life. There will be much yet for me to learn about Carleton as the years go by, but I suspect that the new will simply be a reflecment of these three basic qualities. Those of you who leave Carleton are thus not merely taking with you a compe- tence in certain fields, but an attitude toward life. That is the reason I think, why you will continue to look back upon your undergraduate days as the source of much that is good and valuable, and upon this honorable foundation as both a cluster of warm memories and a living presence.
