Colfege of SZ7.e Jlbemarle l ll ELIIAIETH CITY. N. C. ' OFFICE Ol' 11-IE PIINIDEN1' PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1963: ' You, the first class to graduate from College of The Albemarle, are a vital part of the history that College of The Albemarle continues to make as it attempts to meet the needs of the high school graduate of this area. As you reach this milestone in your life, several questions arise. Why did you enter college? What goals did you have in mind when you entered college? Are these goals still before you or has your life gained new directions?, As you leave College of The Albemarle, it is our hope that you will realize what the college has tried to accomplish while you were here. First, we have tried to provide challenging opportu- nities for study. We hope that the classes which you have attended have been so intellectually stimulating that you have never been satisfied when you have completed the mini- mum requirements. May that thirst for knowledge never be quenched and may you continue your educational endeavors throughout your entire life. 1 Second, the campus affords an excellent environment for a wholesome social life. Many of the friendships formed here will be meaningful through the years, some of you have found here that person with whom you have decided to share all of your life. As you form new friendships, continue to cultivate these college friends and remember that you are a member of the College of The Albemarle. Third, we hope that you have seen our determination to rise to new levels of excellence - students, faculty, all of the college - because we know that this is our high calling as individuals and as an institution. ' May God grant you the presence and guidance of His Spirit that you may know His Will for your lives and give yourselves with loyalty and dedication to the service of your fellowman and your God. Sincerely yours, C. Robert Benson, Jr. President
