Icudstiy fitttuM Called ScUoal o RaliaiOM Lee College OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT May 29, 1953 Young Ladies and Gentlemen: There are some events and emotions that can never become quite commonplace. The reddening of the autumn leaves and the greentide of oncoming springtime, in the natural world are per- petual miracles. In the world of spirit, the going over the top of trained undaunted and unbeaten youth to face the duties and meet the perils of life ' s real battles can never become prosaic. The mere scene may be conventional, but the human factors In it are ever fresh, dynamic and dramatic. I grant you, there is satisfaction in having achieved a goal, yet there Is a tinge of regret at passing on from the places and the asso- ciates of which one has for a time been an integral part. I wish for you certainty of finding congenial and useful work. Yours is the privilege of carrying whatever training and competence you have attained into a world which has at last begun to learn — or to learn anew what it has forgotten that a happy and secure society is not the product of a selfish scramble. So when you have gone out from Lee College you may perchance forget rules of mathematics or dates of history but you will carry over the spirit and character of men and women of culture who have made up this institution. Now, the impor- tance is not what books can do to you but what you can do to books. Life contains more high rewards and more possibilities of enduring satisfaction than you have yet dreamed of. If you take a large enough view of it, realizing ail Its dimensions and seeing the quality of eternity that lies at the heart of it, doing its work industriously, accepting its hazards courageously, you will find that life has beauty and joy that will fill your cup to the brim. With confidence, I congratulate youl Sincerely, R. Leonard Carroll PRESIDENT RLC:p .,. J:4 »= ' ' .■ ■■■■■. - ■ - ' ■ -■ -i ;v ' v .-: '
