Letter From The President TO THE CLASS OF 1979 You are on the threshold of graduation from a great school and entrance into the Alumni of that school. You are about to share a fellowship which is difficult for anyone to define for you. You must now become a part of a great and vital tradition. The Class of 1979 has left its mark on Girard College and you have contributed in many ways to making it a finer school. It is our hope that Girard has given you faith in yourselves and a vision of service which you can render to society. I should like to record here the charge which has been given for many years to the members of the graduating class as part of the Commencement Exercises: “Sons of Girard, I charge y ou now, and in the days to come, to be truly Sons of Girard: to prove yourselves worthy of this name, never to betray the trust which the Founder placed in you; to use in the building of your lives what you have learned here--not only the knowledge gained, but the qualities of character which have been developed-an understanding of your fellow man, loyalty and devotion to your country and all it represents, and love and reverence for your God. You may not all have the occasion to do great things, but you can all do right things. You may not all have the opportunity to be heroes, but you can all manifest nobility of character. You may not all bring forth world-shaking ideas, but you can all express intelligence and integrity and loving kindness. Just as the lives of those Girardians who have preceded you may serve as an inspiration to you, so may you, in turn, not only inspire the generations of Girardians which are to follow, but alsoan influence for good upon all whomyour lives willtouch.” May life be good to you! 4 President
