To the Members of the 1961 Graduating Class I sincerely con- gratulate each of you on having successfully achieved your objec- tive — that of earning a college degree. I also congratulate you on having chosen Catawba Col- lege as your undergraduate Alma Mater. You have valid reason to feel a deep sense of pride in your accomplishment and in the choice of your college. But I am certain that if your college experience has been all that it should have been, its worth to you cannot be measured merely in terms of the mechani- cal standards of formal educa- tion. Although a college degree is an enviable possession, there is nothing magical about it. To be sure, your diploma may get you into graduate school or into a good teaching position or into a promising business enterprise, but it won ' t keep you there. The factual information which you have learned in your course work may stand you in good stead later in life ' you remember it, but this, like your degree, will not be determinative of the real worth of the years that you have spent here. It is, therefore, now up to each of you individually to prove the value of your diploma and your degree, and that can only be done by bringing to your chosen career the greatest assets of your college experience — intelligence, resourcefulness, judgment and character. I pray God ' s richest blessings on all that you do and are. Most sincerely, A. R. KEPPEL President 13-
