PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE To the Graduating Class of 1940: At the Ninety-seventh Commencement you will receive your baccalaureate degrees and diplomas imprinted with the seal of Alma Mater as a symbol of her faith in your present achievements and your potentialities for worthy service to society. Your years in the historic halls of Cumberland have been filled with rare friendship, en- riching experience and intensive search for truth, goodness and beauty. This quest for the highest and most enduring values is only begun but you have discovered the Glory of the Imperfect. The unattainable idealism of life will lure you on to larger horizons. May what you aspired to be but are not comfort and inspire you to more heroic adventure. You face a chaotic and swiftly changing world. Such conditions, though not so acute and alarming as today, have always confronted idealistic and courageous youth who are discontented with WHAT IS because they dream of WHAT OUGHT TO BE. This is the perennial process of social progress. So to you the flaming torch we throw, be yours to hold it high. All who labor to perpetuate the ideals and traditions of Alma Mater give you assurances of unfaltering faith in your future happiness, success and valiant service to humanity.
