ROBERT WARD MCEWEN Presidents Message g To the Men of the Class of 1954: We do not make enough of the motto on the Col- lege seal. Know Thyself is a better than average college motto, though it may be that only the per-. spective of a few years out of college will lead you to see how much of your total college experience was in pursuit of such self-knowledge. Contemporary psychology stresses the ultimate identity of know- ledge and behavior. So perhaps at graduation time we should couple with our traditional motto the ad- ditional admonition, Be Yourself. It won't be easy. These years add new pressures to all the old ones which counsel conformity and the mere search for security. And these years make ever clearer the need for the kind of leadership which men can give who know themselves and act accordingly. Hamilton has graduated more'than its share of such men. They have not thought alike, or acted alike. They have had in common a faith that when men think straight and live responsibly they and all of us will do well. We who stay on the Hill are sure you belong in that tradition. Eg.,-ea... Daniel Burke, LL.D., New York Alexander F. Osborn, Ph.M., Buffalo Stephen W. Royce, LL.B., Pasadena, Calif. John L.
