THE PRE IDE T E D A MESSAGE IT is good To be wriTing a message Tor The KALEIDCSCOPE again. The ones responsible Tor The appearance oT The publicaTion are To be congraTulaTed. This is The TirsT regular ediTion since The one in I943. Many Things have happened during The inTerim. ln glancing over The message I wroTe To The class in I94l, I Tound This sTaTemenT: lT is a bewildering momenT Tor such an experience lgraduaTionl in a world like The presenT one. As l wriTe The class oT I947, l am wriTing To Those who have experienced one oT The supreme Tragedies oT hisTory. Many oT your class maTes. in spiTe oT Their vouTh, have heroically passed on. You will go ouT inTo liTe Tor yourselves and Tor Them. Though peace oT a lcind has come To The world again, you go inTo a period oT unusual and Terrible problems. The need Tor The righT sorT oT men is as greaT as ever. There is hard and viTal worlc To be done. Your educaTion has noT been obTained under easy circumsTfances. You may noT have lcnown Hampden-Sydney in The way ThaT many have beTore you. Even so, you will Tind her inTluence lingering wiTh you. l-ler inTeresT in you will never Tail. You are abouT To become an alumnus. As such you will be a member oT The Alumni AssociaTion. You will Tind yourselT Thrown wiTh men whose love Tor T-lampden-Sydney will -amaze you. -May you know The Tellowship oT These men and may you come To realize The meaning oT Hampden- Sydney in your lives as They do in Theirs!
