PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE In the weeks immediately preceding a college Commencement and during all attendant activities, graduates are often reminded of the world of tomorrow which they will inherit. Preparations are begun, commitments fulfilled, Dis- pite a busy schedule, the class as individauls and as a whole seeks to reserve time for taking stock, for surveying past events and for contemplating the horizons of the future. So it is with college. Periods of tremendous growth take place when ambitious plans are brought to fruition; development and expansion proceed apace to a point where ideas are captured in concrete. Then, before continuing on its upward path, the college pauses to evaluate its accomplishments and define anew its goals. As with the college, so with its students. In your own time, you of the Class of 1960 have become adult with the completion of a dramatic decade, one in which earth has explored space. In ushering in this challenging age which con- fronts us, dynamic explosions of knowledge have taken place. You have built on a solid base of education and now may accept the congratulations of family and friends upon your achievement. That you have completed well your instructional period is shown by your presence in this graduating class. But graduation must truly be a commencement, not a conclusion. Dedication must be the key to the character of each intelli- gent adult — dedication to the task at hand, be it personal or professional, and to the necessary ideals which must inform every life. In particular, the citizen trained for democrary has the dual obligation of study and service, for only through continuing education and through selflessness, the giving of self to the last ounce of strength in furthering de- cent goals, can we make this country a better place in which to live and a stronger nation more likely to survive. To you and your loved ones, your parents, wives, families and friends, my sincere congratulations upon your aca- demic attainments and my best wishes for every future success. vIAmaZu . d tsJt -» -
