Brady came to the Harvard NROTC Unit in September, 1965, con- tinuing a very divetifled career. He was graduated from the Naval Academy in 1942 and spent the neXt two years aboard destroyers in the Pacific. He was then ordered to flight training and received his wings at the wars end. Captain Brady then spent several years as a fighter piIOt with carrier-based squadrons. His laSt duty was with the Fleet Training Group at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as Air Officer. Captain Brady has brought to the NROTC at Harvard a spirit that has enhanced the charaCter of the Unit. During his tenure, many new aCtivities such as the Forum, PhOtO, and Sailing Clubs have been started. Captain Brady inspired the remodeling of the Unitis Main Lobby and the addition of the Midshipmen Lounge. His efforts have led to a battalion Strength twice that of his arrival. Since his future is dependent upon the needs of the Navy , Captain Brady will be leavmg Harvard after an0thet year. However, the spirit that he has instilled in the members of the Harvard Unit will remain for many years to come.

HARVARD COLLEGE Dean 4 UNIVERSITY HALL JOHN U. MONRO CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS 02138 Dean of Student: ROBERT B. WATSON Assistant Dean: May 29 , 1967 ARCHIE c. EPPS, 3D GEORGE w. GOETHALS EUGENE KINASEWICI-I Class of 1967 Harvard NROTC Gentlemen, You leave us to go out into a world deeply troubled by war. By your own decision, and on the strength of four years of careful preparation, you are ready now to take on grave reSponsibilities in the service of our nation. iMost of your major reSponsibilities will be clear enough: they will come to you in the form.of orders,--to Specialist school, to a ship, to a particular division, to this or that battle station. And what you need to know to carry out your reSponsibilities you have already begun to learn here at Harvard; you have already a good ground-work. Much remains to be learned, by hard knocks, but for you it will come fast. iWhat will matter most, as you grow in the service, will be not so lmuch your technical competence. What will matter more is the deve10pment of a personal style,--thoroughness and reliability in doing yourwork, common sense and integrity in dealing with other men, simple courage when things go bad, and good humor, courtesy, and patience for the long days of waiting. For as long as there has been a U.S.A., and indeed for a troubled century and a half before that, Harvard men have gone out to serve their country well at arms, to fight hard and bravely where needed, and to bring their own strange leaven of civilian attitudes and initiatives to the military task. You join an honored and devoted group ofmen, and we wish you God- Speed and a safe return. K-Q. MO Dean of Harvard College

HARVARD UNIVERSITY NAVAL R. 0. T. C. UNIT 25 FRANCIS AVENUE, CAMBRIDGE, MASS. 02138 June, 1967 TO THE CLASS OF 1967 It is always a pleasure to be involved with the commissioning of officers, but this group holds special meaning for me. For this year's class has left a mark upon the Harvard NROTC out of all prOportion to its size. So much so, in fact, that your commissioning seems almost anti-climactio. Inthe past year, the spirit you have enkindled has so permeated the larger classes you leave behind, that we can look to the future with far greater confidence. It is reassuring to me that this change has oc- curred on this particular campus during this period of profound disa- greement about the basic role of the service in support of national policy. While none of us can be certain how the future will unfold, it is clear that we must commit more than words to support our convictions if we are to become contributing members of the society which sustains us. Inyour case, this commitment has already been amply demonstrated. It is, therefore, most appropriate that you have chosen to dedi- cate this book to Dean John U. Monro. May the standards he has set, bothinthe service and on this campus, become guidelines for all of you. We are losingagreat friend and supporter by still another personal Act of Involvement . We on the staff are privileged to have played a small part in your education and are proud of the mark you have left on the Unit. You take with you our best wishes for continued success in all your endeavors and our confidence that the watch is being passed to capable hands. Good luck and God speed, 232? F. X. BRADY Captain, U. S. Navy
