Prcsxdenl -lUITl E OLLEG of The City University of New York 695 Park Avenuc, New York, N.Y. 10021 o l21ZD 772-4242 Dear Members of the Class of 1988: The time has come to say goodbye. And although many are sad, this one cannot be: you are leaving to begin goodbyes enlarged lives supported by the knowledge and new competencies you have acquired as you've worked for your degrees at Hunter College. When all is said and done, that's what these years have been about: learning -- learning about the ways of nature, about how institutions are structured and operate, about ' d n have cultures different from our own, about how men an wome expressed themselves and their culture in literature, music, and art. There are few or no convincing ways to photograph the act of learning, and about the only way we know to illustrate understanding is through the cartoon lightbulb pulsating over one's head. So this splendid yearbook must record externals: what you saw, whom you saw and how they smiled, how you partied, how you strode across the bridges, how you gathered in the cafeteria, how you sat in classrooms and libraries. These are images to cherish. But I would like you to remember also the internal expe- riences: how you felt when you were learning and how you felt when you understood. I would like you to remember that you were students at Hunter College, where the primary mission is education, without regard to age or sex or physical handicap, race or religion, national origin or income. Congratulations! Through diligence and hard intellectual C lle el I am work you have earned you degrees at Hunter o g proud of you. Sincerely, Tilden . LeMelle Q50 Y' 'Q ei 42296 Q 0 .bo Q1 3 was 5 .

Your struggles have paid off. You are about to become graduates of Hunter College -- members of an extraordinary club founded in l87O. Distinguished politicians and scholars, doctors and poets, business executives and mathematicians, novelists and athletes, social workers and historians, actors and journalists and biologists . . . these are among the women and men you will join as the newest alumni of Hunter College. I hope you will share with them something more than a Hunter degree and high achievement I hope . you will Share gratitude for the quality of your educatio n at a public institution -- the finest one I know in the greatest city in the world. I hope you will take on the responsibility of seeing that others receive the benefits of public higher education. I hope you will reflect on the integrity and sensitivity that distinguishes Hunter Colle ' ge and makes it work in the interests of its marvelously pluralistic student b d o y, and that you will work with the same integrit and y sensitivity in whatever you undertake. For that is the way to foster positi h ve c ange -- that is the way to win a victory for humanity. Finally, I wish that each of you, in winning that victory, will live wildly uncomfortable lives, full of abiding traditions, engaging adventures, love, good health, and demanding dreams. Good luck to you and Godspeed. Sincerely, Donna E. Shalala
