Katherine Q. Blqleq President Ke u k a C o 11 e ge Keulca Park, N. Y. January 1, 1955 Dear Keukonians, What do you aay to college women who eagerly receive their year books, gaze with rapture at all the faces they know so well, put them away for Inquiring children to look at the quaint people of the ' 50 ' s? Between today and tomorrow, between student days and adult life there is so much to be said. Emerson once wrote ' Thl3 year, like any year, is a good year if you know what to do with it. I am suggesting to you that the students who will later value their college years the most are the ones who put their time and thought on a conscious preparation for the future. We can leave some things to chance, but most things develop best out of planning and effort. To open the present to the future takes the magic key of vision. It may qome through reading, experimentation, discussion or some teacher may suddenly spring the lock, and, if so, your debt of gratitude is immeasurable. [ 10 ] Maybe you won ' t talk about them much and maybe you will, but I wish for you two steady guides, ever unfolding and becoming more and more luminous. First, the vision of what you can be as a person with your unique personality fully developed. Second, the vision of the function in society which you can exercise because you are a woman. Should you desire a framework for neatness and search for two outstanding qualities, which a modern woman needs in our changing society, you might well select the two big full words -- flexibility and resourcefulness. Behind their meanings is the suggestion of the need women have these days (and as far into the future as we can see) for mastery in a multiplicity of shifting roles in the home, the community and the world of work. Will you weave the cross-pattern well? Now, in college, you are preparing the answer. Keuka has need of pride in her graduates! Faithfully yours.
