, fw ' 4 4 ! President A. R. KEPPEL, LL.D. To The Graduates of ' 53 Dear Friends: To each of you I extend my very best wishes for a happy and a rewarding life. We shall miss you in our ongoing college fellowship but we shall not forget you. Be assured that we shall always be interested in your ex- periences and in your successes. Therefore, please let us hear from you often and. better still, visit us whenever opportunity permits. As you return from time to time to your Alma Mater, you may see many new faces but you will always find the same old hearty and friendly Catawba Spirit, and, therefore, you will feel at home. Some of your friends and acquaintances may today tell you that they sympathize with you as you leave col- lege, to face the world, for they will contend that the future is dark and life is cruel. May I, in these last parting words, take violent exception to that philosophy. To be sure, the world today is not a bed of roses, but you can thank your lucky stars that it is not. If it were, there would be nothing to test one ' s character, nothing to fight for. nothing to live for. As things stand today, the greatest crusade of all time awaits the leadership of young men and women of integrity and of courage and of faith in the Creator of all life. If you join in this crusade, the crusade not alone for freedom but for positive Christian living, for mutual understanding, for equal opportuni- ties of all, for the achieve ment of goodwill among men. for a just and honorable peace in your lifetime — if you give your life to such a crusade, you will enjoy an abundant and a rewarding life. And that life will not be sur- passed by any who have preceded you or will follow you, save One — the Man of Nazareth who gave his life that you might find yours. By virtue of your college training and experience, you arc each nominated for such leadership and if you accept this nomination, and I pray to God you will, then it would not be amiss for you to read again and to assume as your very own the admonition which Paul once sent to his friends at Ephesus: Stand, therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace; above all taking the shield of faith with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Again with my very best wishes for a great and happy life of service to your fellowmcn. I am Most sincerely, A. R. KEPPEL President 10 - v: ' ■ ' ( ' ' ' ■
