THE REV. CARL J. TAMMINEN President of Suomi College l It has been both a 'pleasure and a privilege to work with the class of 1948 during my first year at Suomi. All too soon has the year passed. As you, the graduates of 1948, go forth from our school I leave with you this brief word of parting. It is a word of commendation. I have learned to know you as young people who recognize the difficult times we are living in and are preparing for your part in life through earnest effort and diligentstudy and reliance on God. 'I have been struck by the interest many of you have exhibited toward the school. You have not been satisfied with an opportunistic acquiring of knowledge for your own good, but have worked overtime to develop the life and public rela- tions of the school. You have been inspired by the vision of argreater Suomi College and you have labored to inspire others. It is, too, a word of regret. Many of you are planning to continue your college studies. You would have wanted to finish here. But you must go else- where because ours is not a four-year college. You regret this. Not any less do I regret it. Now, when many of you would have been eager to stay on here we should have been ready to go forward with our plans for a four-year college. Steps have been taken in this direction by our Synod, 'but progress has been slow. May your zeal give this cause new impetus. May ourtmutual regrets spur us on toward the goal. It is a word of exhortation. You may get a degree from some other schoolg you may find gainful employment far away from Hancock, but don't' forget Suomi. If it is to develop, it will continually need the financial support of its friends. Remember it with your gifts. But money and equipment do not alone make a school. Above all it needs students. No one can advertise Suomi better than those who know it. No one can do more to get young people to come here than he who has been here. Remember this. And remember, too, to pray for our scgool. VVithout God's blessing our best efforts will fail, with it we shall succee . . Page ten XF Q, 4 WW W AIX4 Pfrincij: B.S. in Finant Of Pen AM., l DAGB TMJFM Sflllifr' AB., j
