A viow of the academic procession entering Memorial Chapel for the Baccalaureate service A day that will live in infamy. The thought» of graduating seniors ramble back across three or four years to the first doy they joined the student body of Emory and Henry College. Today is graduation day: The day on which a diploma is awarded and as a College graduato one joins the ranks of the educated. The realization that life now lies before one and not behind is startling. Suddenly, the words that overyone has been saying rush into each person s thoughts and he roelizos that truly tho days one spends in college arc the best evor. Bill Troy was tho senior orotor. There is much to be hoped for: many will be marriod right away, others later. Some will go to graduate school. Tho paths of most of the class will not cross again. Each person will establish now friendships and their families will give thorn now responsibilities, but ferovor tho mem- ories of tho days at Emory and Henry will romoin alive. The close friend- ships established will not be forgotton. but circumstances will prevont tho every-day association which has been ours for those years. Naive, socially aware of what tho other fellow was thinking, and oniious. we came to Emory and Henry. We come unaware of the task of education. Wo came seeking facts and information, for this was the sub- stance of education. We leave knowing that education is for more than fact or information. The thought patterns thot hovo guided men through the ages are ours. Tho greatest knowledge we have ottoinod is the fact that we can novor know everything and that our knowledge is rostrictod. Life is a growing procoss and only in old age do we over realize what we should hovo done, but didn't. The Collogo has given of its best to us and now the burdon of re- sponsibility is upon our shouldors. The choice for life is ours and the tost of our Alma Mator will bo the job we do in life. Fame is not the measure of a man's gift to his follows. The contributions mado by Emory and Honry graduates do not lie always in the limelight of the nation, but are rathor to bo found in the church, tho homo, the schools and tho com- munity. A purpose in life far surpassing tho dosiro for material woll- being has been our lesson at Emory and Honry. Association with a faculty of dedicated men and women who have givon up position for a lifo of moaning and satisfaction has been our evor-prosent example at Emory and Henry. Graduation 1963 can be but the first of lifo’s many chal- lenges for our class, for. like this day our class will live in infamy. 46
