GENERAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION NEWTON W. GEISS Our General Alumni Association congratulates each member of the 1959 class upon graduation from this college. Teaching, with its high ideals and purposes, offers opportunities to mould the thinking of a community and to direct the destiny of man. Our schools need your help in training children to think, to act, and to live significantly in our American democracy. You can do much to vitalize our schools by instilling in the communities where you teach a strong desire for more and better education. You can, in turn, accomplish this most successfully by vitalizing yourselves and by working together. Your community school has the duty of working to improve community living, a big task which calls for your enthusiastic sharing of responsibilities. Your community itself becomes a better place to live in as you bear at least your share of the load in helping to formulate well defined goals which have the backing of those individuals and groups who ardently strive for a better place in their town. Your school can not alone produce the town and country that you want. A largo part of your job, both directly and indirectly, is to help make a community in which children can grow up to be demo- cratic. intelligent, disciplined, reverent, and altruistic. Although it is true that the public schools have now become everybody's business, you will become more than ever a key figure—educator, part of the guidance program for every one of your students, and a daily ambassador from the gown to the town. In addition to supporting all of these functions, you must learn to become an integral part of your community, taking part in its activities and supporting its welfare. As teacher of whatever subject or level, you will have, among others, the difficult task of encour- aging critical thinking. You should become a convinced and convincing teacher, not only of the how’s but, even more important, of the why's. Facts you will recognize as significant chiefly in the building of all-important relationships, attitudes, and understandings. As you go on in teaching your increased personal experience and your broadened critical readings will add to your value and self-confidence as teacher-critic-citizen. Teaching, you will have the greatest of opportunities and responsibilities. You can do more than statesmen or conquerors. You can create new visions and liberate new powers. Such are your chances and such our challenge to you. Sincerely yours, Newton W. Geiss, President General Alumni Association.
