Even as Mr. Charles Reed broke ground with this golden shovel, the earth mover could be heard roaring in the background changing forever the face of Prospect Hill Farm. The old and the new will be combined. The beautiful stone farmhouse with its redwood floors will be renovated and just across from it will rise the brick walls of the new library. The dream is fast be- coming a dynamic reality. 24

In Memory of John Fitzgerald Kennedy 191 7-1963 On November 22, 1963, the President of the United States was killed by an assassin's bullet in Dallas, Texas. Let us remember that on that day the young of the nation lost a hero, the country a dynamic leader and the world its best friend of peace. I ask you to give to the service of our country the critical fac- ulties which society has helped develop in you. I ask you to de- cide, as Goethe put it, whether you will be an anvil or a ham- mer, whether you will give the United States, in which you were reared and educated, the broadest possible benefits of that edu- cation. It is not enough to lend your talents to deploring present solutions. Most educated men and women on occasion prefer to discuss what is wrong rather than to suggest alternative courses of action. But would you have counted him a friend of ancient Greece, as George William Curtis asked a body of educators a century ago, who quietly discussed the theory of patriotism on that hot summer day through whose hopeless and immortal hours Leonidas and the 300 stood at Thermopylae? J. F. Kennedy, October 12, 1961
