 Armstead O. Grubb Acting President Dear Graduates of 1958: The cliche would have it that you are about to go out into a cold, cruel world. It is. however, hardly necessary to point out that it is the selfsame world with which you have grown tolerably well acquainted in the twenty-one years, more of less, of a not wholly cloistered or cotton- wooled life, and while coldness and cruelty are unmistakably two of its aspects, it is not al- together lacking in either hospitality or kindliness. Well, whatever the world is like, it is a place where courage and honor and charity are more than ever prime virutes, so prime that in this Atomic Age there cannot even be survival without them. Nobody is a perfect exemplar of these qualities, but they are substantial ingredients of the Lincoln spirit which you have imbibed at the source and now embody, and I think you well fortified. It is with an ulterior motive that we shall follow very attentively what you and your prede- cessors are doing, for the good reason that your accomplishments are ultimately the measure of our worth as an institution, a measure more accurate and final than the rating of any accredit- ing agency. But mostly we wish you well because we know and like you and have faith in you. May you grow, but without ever letting new commitments remove you entirely from us; further mature, but without losing that freshness of spirit which is so attractive too in the later decades; succeed, but without of necessity valuing the triumph more than the quest. Godspeed to you all I You bear with you our heartfelt good wishes. Sincerely, A. O. Grubb
