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

The class of 1958 will go out into a world in which there is increasing opportunity in industry, government and business. The demands of the professions, so long entered by large numbers of Lincoln graduates, are great. It is my belief that your training at Lincoln University will enable you to take your places in the world with rewarding satisfaction in an enviornment of free and open fellowship and competition. Many of you will want to or must pursue your education further. It has been said that any formula for individual success begins and ends with a man’s enterprise. A definite purpose, abundance of enthusiasm, positive thinking and a basic interest in helping others - these are essentials for success. Applied to your further ed- ucation and living, you cannot fail to make a positive contribution to improving human understanding. H. F. Grim Dean of the University Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. These words of Jesus are the words we need to hear in a world that is broken into fragments by hatred and prejudice. This prayer reminds us that we cannot forgive until we have known what it means to be forgiven by our God. Only as we are set free can we bring freedom to others. It is the purpose of our University to point men to the roots of true freedom by asserting that If the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. May your lives be the best evidence of the truth of these words. Andrew E. Murray Dean of the Seminary 8
