GORDON KEITH CHALMERS A.B. (Brown), M.A. (Oxon.), Ph.D. (Harvard), Ll.D. (Hobarl), Lill.D. (Rockford and Brown), t.H.D. (Rlpon) Proiidont Springtime in college always brings a time of regret when Seniors suddenly remember that they will be doing many things in Kenyon for the last time. No effort to revive the state of mind and heart of being a student quite achieves its object, in some particulars the au revo r of Commencement really must be a goodbye. Professors become accustomed to this springtime occurrence, but never wholly inured to it, and it will be particularly difficult for us to say goodbye to the Class of 1948. The reason is that you have done some unusual things. Many of you did a remarkable job in the war. Most of you who returned to your studies after the war dealt with ideas and the propositions of our life together in an especially interesting and promising way. We have reason to expect impressive things of the Class of 1948 because in its undergraduate days it was as a group more mature than most other classes, and because also many of you show special promise. Sometimes the promise of a man's life does not reveal itself until after college. I think I have seen in some of you this potentiality not yet evident in grades or unusual accomplishment. In the next few years we shall expect to see some surprise yourselves, and to see some fulfill the accomplishments so clearly indicated in your undergraduate success. You have spoken in various ways by deed and word of your affection for the College. Remember that there is nothing better that you can do for Kenyon than to do superbly well whatever important thing you finally turn to as your job in life. GORDON KEITH CHALMERS
